Question
I have a 7 month old maltipoo, so i was told it was one. I paid 500.00 for her. I don't think they are suppose to shed but she sheds ALOT. Could some maltipoos shed are not?

Answer
You paid alot of money for what is essentially a mixed breed. Who knows what got in the hen house? Maltese do not shed. Poodles do not shed. Hence a "maltipoo" does not shed. If in fact it is a maltipoo.
This is the reason why there are registrations for breeds - to be able to trace the line. You could have paid that much money for a pure bred dog and been sure. You can only hope when you buy "designer" breeds.
That was really alot of money to spend. I can't even begin to guess how they arrived at such a price.
i am sure you love your dog now so all you can do is keep on brushing...
good luck!
