A Friend of ours has bought a "Moodle" apparently a Maltese Poodle cross, how much is known about this breed?

Question

We will only have a small yard when our house is built and the kids desperately want a dog, from what our friends say the "Moodle" sounds ideal. We have great walking paths for walking our dog, but we really need to have a dog that doesn't need loads of space when we are not at home. I would just love to hear from anyone who has a "Moodle" or knows where to get them and any other information.

Answer 1

actually the correct name is a maltipoo. which is a maltese and a poodle like you said. i have a maltipoo. she is wonderful. shes smart, loving, great family dog, and doesnt shed. we bought her for about 300$

this site will answer all your questions! ALL of them! easy maltipoo Q&A website http://pooinformation-ivil.tripod.com/id11.html

heres a site that tells you about them, and has lots of cute pictures http://maltipoo.net/

the thing with maltipoos is that they get to be the size of a poodle.... 25lbs-ish. the smaller dog (usually) the less activity and running around space it needs. we also have a shih-tese which is a shih-tzu and a maltese mix. she only gets to be about 8-14lbs and she doesnt run around much at all, but she is still really playful... i cant find any good sites about them, we got ours from a breeder we found in the newspaper. look around theyre not really that uncommon, apparantly its just on google!

Many people love the idea of owning a dog but one thing that they have to keep in mind often times, is that the dog needs to be trained. While the pet may look heart-breakingly cute when it's in a shelter or at the pound, picking out the dog is only the first part of the relationship between dog owner and the animal. Many people don't understand that they have to put time and effort into socializing the dog.

An unsocialized dog will intimidate others, tear up the home, and will create an environment that can become so bad that the it will have to be returned. Many times when dogs have to be returned to shelters or to other resources, it will end up euthanized, which is very heartbreaking. All of this can be spared if a person learns the various techniques in order to socialize the dog.

One thing that they have to understand is that the he wants to be told what to do. It's in the canine nature to follow a leader. The dog will be more than willing to obey the leadership of its master. Here's a look at some common techniques that are used in dog training:

"Dog Whispering"

This is a technique that has been around for a while, but gained national notoriety over the last 10 years. Some people might hear this term and wonder how in the world whispering to a dog can train it! Whispering isn't meant to be taken literally in this case. As trainers have shown, whispering is a term that refers to connecting with a being or an entity on a very deep and almost spiritual level. When it comes to dog training techniques, dog whispering involves careful observation of the dog's behavior and actions.

It literally entails getting inside the mind and the behavior system of the canine. When a person uses dog whispering techniques, they interact with the dog on the canine level. Again, one the most common mistakes that people make is treating the dog like a small human being.

"Reward Training"

Reward training is very simple and it's one of the older tricks that works. This is a simple method of training the dog by positive reinforcement. Once he does what it is told to do, it receives a treat. How this works is that the dog owner must entice the dog towards the treat. Once the canine develops awareness for the treat, it develops a strong desire for it. When the desire for it is extremely strong, the dog owner pulls back. Then the dog receives a command and when the dog obeys the command, it receives the treat. The object is to make the dog associate a treat with the command.

"Clicker Training"

Other dog training techniques include one that is similar to reward training, which is called clicker training. How this works is that the clicker is incorporated to get the dog's attention. The clicker is clicked as a form of communication with the dog. It learns that there is a command or reward associated in conjunction with the clicker. Many people claim that this is fun, and they actually make a game with the dog by using the clicker for their dog training tasks.

"Ultrasonic Whistle"

Last, a relatively new form of dog training technique is called the ultrasonic whistle. This works because the ultrasonic sound is only heard by the dog. When the owner is trying to communicate a command, or stop the dog from barking, they will blow on their whistle when they want to communicate a command to the dog. The benefit of this is that the humans can't hear this noise, but the dog can hear it, and they will learn to associate the sound with a command.

Dog training techniques aren't hard to incorporate, but they are something that absolutely must be incorporated from the time a dog owner brings their new dog home. No matter how old or how young the dog is, they will need training. Once they are trained properly, they will be a wonderful addition to one's family.

A Moodle is not a breed at all. It is an overpriced mixed breed dog. Because these dogs are mixed breeds, the temperment, personality, and even coat type can vary between them. I personally wouldnt recommend getting any mixed breed unless it came from a shelter for the sole reason that the only people who breed for these 'mutts' are puppy mills and irresponsible breeders. The so called 'designer dogs' are very popular right now and in the name of the almighty dollar these dogs are produced. Do not let anyone tell you they are rare. Parents of these puppies are not tested against hereditary health issues or temperment. These dogs are bred over and over until they are no longer as productive as they should be, at that time those dogs are disposed of. These dogs are bred to produce numbers, end of story. I refuse to support that type of life for the parents and the only way to stop it is to not buy a dog from a puppy shop or an irresponsible breeder. If you are looking for a small mixed breed puppy you can always jump onto www.petfinder.com. You can do a shelter search of specific breeds and their mixes in your area, many of these dogs are still puppies. You will have the opportunity to let your children play with the dog and find the right one for your family and you will be saving a life too....a very valuable lesson for anyone.
This will of course be your dog, but I hope that this info will help you and your family in search of the perfect dog for your family and maybe even save a life in the process. If you are considering any purebred dogs...www.akc.org...has a list of breeds and responsible and ethical breeders in the area.

Answer 5

It is NOT a breed!!! It is another mutt that people are marketing to people who don't know better!!! These people pay a lot more than they would pay for either actual breed that goes on to these mutts!!! "Breeders" of these mutts tell buyers all sorts of things about them, like they don't shed,do bark,are the perfect dog...the list goes on and on!!!! A poodle or maltese would be fine to get. At least then you know what you are getting. With a mutt, you can get either set of trait, and health problems from EITHER breed!!! I have no idea why people spend so much for a fad mutt!!!!!
And no good real breeder would let their good quality dogs be used for breeding mutts, so you are paying for the breeding of two pet quality dogs!!!

Think twice before getting a fad mutt!!!

Answer 6

Find what motivates your dog. Some dogs do anything for food. Some dogs do anything for Toys. Some do anything for a good petting. Some do anything for only one type of food, like cheese, or hotdog. Some only have interest in training for 5 minutes at a time, and others can go for an hour. Figure out what your dog is willing to work for, and then work with her in sessions that are no longer than she can tolerate. How to train your dog properly https://tr.im/zLXs2

Sign up for a dog obedience training class. It will not train your dog. It will give you training on how you can train your dog. Most people understand the idea of training, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it, and there is good and bad technique. Timing and consistency is very important, and it helps to have feedback of someone watching you who can help you improve your technique to get more efficient results with your dog.

However, she may be somewhat anxious around other dogs, sort of like the shy kid on the playground. She will benefit from continuing what you are doing as far as asking her to sit before entering, but there are more things along those lines that will help her to calmly go in and out of the dog park. She may also benefit from going in short bursts, or only when fewer dogs are present, or avoiding times when other dogs that make her nervous are present. Maybe she just plays loud - my brother's dog is this way - or maybe she is a dogpark bully - sorry it is possible. But more likely she is just a little anxious around new dogs and she wants to play but just doesn't quite know how to do that and still feel comfortable. Don't be surprised if your dog does not actually like the dog park, and maybe she would get more enjoyment and less stress out of simply going for a good walk somewhere else.

A wagging tail does not mean that your dog is happy or even comfortable with the situation. It means your dog is emotionally aroused. This could be a happy arousal, or it could be a nervous arousal, or it could be an aggressive arousal. Go youtube it, there are plenty of videos of 'vicious' dogs who are throwing a very aggressive fit of barking and snarling while their tail is wagging vigorously. Even police dogs who are not let off the leash to chase down a suspect can be lunging and barking and snarling, and their tails are still going.

Answer 7

There are a few real keys to dog training, whether you are trying to train your dog to come when called, sit, stop barking or any other behavior. Understanding their importance is critical to achieving rapid results that are long lasting and help develop the bond between you and your dog. Read more here https://bitly.im/Ybzzx

The first is simple; you must win your dogs mind. If you don’t achieve this first then you will be struggling the all the way. When I talk about winning your dogs mind what I really mean is that your dog looks to you for all the decisions. Before you do anything else watch one of the amazing video sites that show you the 5 Golden rules to establishing yourself as the pack leader. If you aren’t putting these in place then you are setting yourself up to fail. Just at the crucial point where you really want your dog to listen they will go and do their own thing. For sure your dog may play ball occasionally or even most of the time, you may even have a dog that is obedient 99% of the time, however if you want a dog who always listens to you and does as you ask then you need to win your dogs mind.

The second key to success is to motivate your dog. It is really important that you discover what it is that your dog enjoys both in terms of exercise and play but also in terms of a reward. If you can make the experience enjoyable then you will both achieve more and look forward to training.

Some dogs love to fetch, others love agility, and other dogs simply love obedience training, or swimming out into water and retrieve. At least to start with find out what your dogs love is and help them develop this, what I am saying is work with your dog. The other point to recognize is to make training enjoyable reward your dog.

Answer 8

This is a one of the new "designer" dogs. Brand new crosses don't have much written about them but, if you look at both breeds you get a good idea of how the dog will be. Maltese and Poodles make great pets, but it may not be ideal for you to get any dog if you have to be away all day. It really isn't fair to the dog.
Consider carefully.
Consider getting an adult dog, they don't need as much training and supervision.
Consider a shelter mutt. Shelter employees spend a lot of time with the dogs and can direct you to one that will best suit your family. They really are the best pets, you get lots of "extras" for your money (cheaper too), and you are saving a life.
Good Luck

Answer 9

This is what they call a 'designer dog' (AKA Mutts For Money) - bred by unscrupulous people interested not in the dogs they produce welfare, but fattening their own wallets. Please, if you want a purebred, go to www.akc.org & contact a member of the breed you like's club that tests & certifies their breeding dogs free from genetic defects known to the breed. If you want a mixed breed (which the "Moodle" is), please save a life of one already here at your local shelter.

Answer 10

A Moodle is a mutt, you can probably find one, or something similar, at a shelter for a fraction of the price people pay for it. Plus you get to rescue a dog who may be on death row.
