Moodles: everything you need to know
What is a Moodle?
The Moodle, also known as a Maltipoo, is a delightful crossbreed between a Maltese and a Poodle (typically a Toy or Miniature Poodle). This hybrid breed has become increasingly popular due to its charming personality, intelligence, and hypoallergenic qualities.
