Can maltipoos be akc registered

Maltipoos are a very popular choice of dog among first-time owners, families, couples, and experienced dog owners alike. They are small, friendly, intelligent, and shed very little which all make great reasons to choose one.

You’ve got your Maltipoo home, so what’s the deal with registering your pooch, and can they be registered with AKC in their own right? If not, why not and what other options are there if you would like to register your Maltipoo?

Maltipoos cannot be registered on the AKC Dog Registry due to being a crossbreed. They can be registered on AKC’s Canine Partners Program. Other organizations such as the International Designer Canine Registry and American Canine Hybrid Club are open to Maltipoos.

At the time of writing (October 2020), AKC ranked Maltese dogs 37th out of 196 making them a fairly popular breed. They are classed as being in the Toy Group. Poodles are ranked 7th out of 196 making them one of the top ten. Poodles are in the non-sporting group on the AKC registry. So, where does that leave Maltipoos?

Fun Fact: They have a host of names and even different registry organizations call them by different names. Here are some of those names: Maltepoo, Maltapoo, Moodle, Malt-A-Poo, Multapoo, Multipoo, Malte-Poo, Maltapoo, Multapoo, Multi-Poo, Maltese-Poodle, Malt-oodles, MaltiPoodle, mPoo.

American Kennel Club – Who Can Be Registered?

Let’s first look at the history behind AKC, why was it launched and how has it evolved to include mixed breeds. American Kennel Club was formed in 1884 and is by far the largest registry for purebred dogs. Registering a dog recognizes that their parents were also registered through AKC. It doesn’t declare your dog is in full health or of show quality.

When registered through AKC you receive a certificate of registration, and your dog’s name is recorded in the AKC registry. You also get the chance to take part in many events held by AKC throughout the year.

The AKC is very clear in determining the terms of their registration process. Crossbreeds (sometimes called designer dogs) cannot be registered traditionally by AKC, only purebred dogs can be AKC registered. As Maltipoos are a cross between a Maltese and a Toy or Miniature Poodle only the purebred sire and dam can be AKC registered.

Whilst Maltipoos are not purebred they can still be registered through the AKC’s Canine Partners scheme which was launched in 2009. This scheme was launched so that mixed-breed dog owners could have the chance to compete in AKC agility, obedience, and rally events. Its launch was great news for dog owners of mixed breeds because they could now be included in a program. Dogs registered with Canine Partners must be spayed or neutered and the program is open to all dogs not eligible for AKC registration except for wolf hybrids.

Money raised through AKC is used to fund many campaigns for the good of dogs such as kennel inspections, AKC Canine Health Foundation, Canine Search and Rescue, Canine Good Citizen program, AKC Museum of the Dog, and many others.

Can Maltipoos Be Registered Anywhere Else?

There’s no need to feel despondent that you cannot register your Maltipoo on AKC’s dog registry as there are plenty of other organizations that you can use. Below are some of them:

• International Designer Canine Registry
• American Canine Hybrid Club
• Designer Dogs Kennel Club
• Designer Breed Registry
• Dog Registry of America

It is important to point out that none of the organizations listed above will allow you to compete in any AKC shows. In this case, are there any advantages to registering your mixed breed anywhere?

It’s worth looking into the benefits each organization offers as each does differ. They also give mixed breeds the chance to be registered in their own right and have ownership and parentage recorded in history. Times have moved on over the years and having a crossbreed doesn’t necessarily limit your options if you do wish to register your Maltipoo.

Related Questions

Do Maltipoos Have Health Problems?

Like with all mixed breeds it’s important to look at parent history. We’ve rounded up some common Maltipoo health issues below:

• White Shaker Syndrome –  This is a condition, which as the name indicates, affects white Maltipoos. This condition causes tremors across their entire bodies and can be caused by both environmental and genetic factors.
• Progressive Retinal Atrophy (PRA) – This is a condition that eventually leads to blindness, although it can be detected even before symptoms occur.
• Allergies – Maltipoos are susceptible to suffering from allergies such as seasonal, skin reactions, and coat issues.
• Dental Problems – Like with all dog’s dental problems can be a big issue, good dental care is a must.
• Collapsed Trachea – Maltipoo necks are fragile and the cartilage rings can collapse if too much pressure is applied. It’s for this reason dog harnesses should be used for Maltipoos.
• Luxating Patella – This is quite common with small breeds and is a condition where the dog’s kneecap slips out of place.

What does it mean to you and your puppy if it is AKC?
Does it ensure a healthier puppy?
No it does not.
It is a piece of paper that the breeder bought from AKC.
Sometimes they have lied to get this piece of paper.

There are many Maltese out there that are not very pretty.  They look nothing like what a Maltese is supposed to look like and what’s even worse, is most people don’t even know what they are supposed to look like anymore!  Why am I telling you this on my AKC Page? Because these are AKC puppies I am talking about.  How did this happen?   Keep reading and I will tell you.

~~~An AKC registered puppy/dog, simply means the puppy had two parents of the same breed.  AKC registers puppies/dogs and gives the breeder papers which helps them sell them.  That’s it, a piece of paper.

Years ago I called a Maltese breeder and asked how much the parents weighed, and this woman got very snippy and said, “they are long and tall like they are supposed to be!”

What?  I told her I had been breeding for many years and they weren’t supposed to be long and tall.  At this point she asked for my name and phone number.  It was actually pretty funny.  I declined to give it to her.

I imagine there are many more breeders out there with long and tall Maltese!  I know I’ve seen many pictures of Maltese that look like this. These were AKC puppies this woman was selling too.

Maltese are not supposed to have a curl in their coat either.  This is from a Bichon or Poodle being mixed in. Yes, even if you have your AKC paper, it can still have a Bichon or Poodle somewhere in it’s lineage.

One time I called a Maltese breeder and asked him if the dew claws were done on the puppies.  He said, “ma’am, these are dogs, not cats!”  In case you don’t know, dew claws are the extra claw they have on their paw.

I used to get the dew claws removed but finally figured out it was inhumane.
You have to take the puppies to the vet when they are 2 days old, no older, 
and they just pull out their nail (it doesn’t hurt you know), oh, okay.  The reason this is done is because people forget to clip them and they can grow in a circle and grow right through their paw. How ’bout we just remember to clip this nail and not get it pulled out?

This breeder was pretty clueless and knew nothing about dogs!
These were AKC puppies and he was an AKC breeder!

I can’t even begin to count how many people tell me their Maltese weighs 17-20 pounds.  No kidding!  There’s no way that dog can be that much overweight!  By the way, a  pure breed Maltese is supposed to weigh 4-7 lbs full grown.

A Maltese weighing 9 lbs or more, is not a pure breed, although the owners think they are!  Quite obviously these dogs have Bichon or Poodle in them or something with a little weight to it!  These are AKC puppies.

I can’t tell you how many times I have heard a horror story about a puppy that was registered with AKC. Their AKC registration meant nothing to them when their puppy died.  So many times it is just 4 days later.

I do not mean that every breeder is bad who uses AKC, but usually their AKC registration paper is just a piece of paper.  Although AKC or CKC are necessary if you want to show your dog. Otherwise it is just a piece of paper.

I once had an AKC Maltese that I purchased from a woman with the promise that the papers were in the mail.  While waiting and trying to get the papers with many promises that they were coming, this mama had a litter of puppies.  Now, I really needed the papers.

One day one of my other Maltese females got hit by a car and was killed.  Why do people have to go 90 on a dirt road?  

Anyhow, I had 2 AKC breeders that I knew, tell me to use the AKC papers from the dog who died and pretend the new mama who didn’t have papers was her. That way I could sell these puppies with AKC papers.  I didn’t do it of course.  How easy to lie though and who would ever know.
This is why we have Maltese with curly coats, etc…Having AKC papers does not mean a dog is pure breed.

As an AKC breeder, you fill out a form to get your papers for your customers. On this form, you are asked if you witnessed this mating.  How easy for someone to lie here. Oops the Poodle accidentally got my Maltese, that’s okay, who will ever know?

I no longer use AKC.  I have some parents who are still registered with AKC, but at last inspection, they claimed I had to keep track of even my mixes for the lifetime of the dog.

I remember sitting in my kitchen arguing with the AKC inspector as to why it was any of their business what I did with my Maltipoos when they weren’t registered with AKC? No reasonable explanation, just their policy.  Excuse me, I think that is none of their business!

AKC is quite expensive and there are many other registries to choose from, about 30.  I chose another.

Speaking of inspections, AKC inspects puppy mills who have 100’s and 100’s of puppies a year that are registered with them.  They go through this inspection, and pass!  How, when they are a puppy mill?  AKC is not all they pretend to be.

Veterinarian and author Dr. Michael Fox claims that, “The best use of pedigree papers is for housebreaking your dog. They don’t mean a darn thing. You can have an immune- deficient puppy that is about to go blind and has epilepsy, hip dysplasia, hemophilia and one testicle, and the AKC will register it.”

Appearance of the Maltipoo

At this stage in the development of this hybrid dog, the appearance of the Maltipoo varies quite a bit. As time goes by, with proper breeding practices followed and most (if not all) breeders striving toward the same goal, the Maltipoo will someday have a much stricter standard. With this said, there here are the stats for the Maltipoo:

Weight: 5-12 lbs (2.27-5.44 kg). You may notice that this range is a bit larger than a lot of other breeds. This is because the Maltipoo is a relatively new hybrid dog....As time goes by , range will most likely not vary so much. 

Height: 14 inches average (35.56 cm)....this is the average and can vary from 12 to 16 inches in most cases.

Life Expectancy: 15 years - Again an average....some small dogs live up to 18 years and in rare cases even longer.

Average Litter Size: 4-6 puppies - It is not unusual to have 1 pup...however the maximum is almost always 6

Color:This is where it gets quite interesting. The Maltipoo can be found in a metaphorical rainbow of colors. While one parent (the Maltese) is a pure white dog (in rare cases and without excellent breeding, a cream color)....The other parent (the toy Poodle) comes in a huge range of colors.

Therefore, the Maltipoo will be a toned down coat color of the following: Apricot, black, blue (appears black but skin pigmentation -nose, eye rims, lips and paw pads- have a dark blue tint), brown, cream, gray, tan, orange, red, silver. The majority of Maltipoo dogs are multi colored (also referred to as parti-colored) which means that the coat holds more than one color. Some Maltipoos are one solid color. The most popular color is white and the rarest is black....this is because black is dominant and almost always overpowers the white genes.

The coat will either be soft and silky or long and wavy....Those that are not bred well will have a wiry coat.
