Description
With over a decade of experience with specifically maltipoos that genuinely don’t get bigger then 2kg and truly stay small, we specialize in smallest ethical matings, (females 2kg studs below 1.5kg) that is smaller then toy size ensuring ALL our pups remain truly petite and provide the highest level of security in terms of size. We accurately estimate puppies’ adult size and correctly measure the shoulder height of our adults, thanks to our extensive knowledge of small-staying Maltipoos. Puppy sold, please contact for waitlist inquiries. We also offer a sourcing service for ‚smaller then toy size‘, ‚small toys‘ and ‚standard toys‘ for other breeds as well. With us, you have the assurance that the dogs we find will truly remain small. We’ve heard countless stories of supposed small-sized dogs being bought that ended up much bigger. In reality, these dogs are incredibly hard to find, and we aim to make that search easier. Please contact us for more info. We do not resell dogs! You buy directly of the breeder, we just aid in finding those dogs! We also provide 2nd opinions on other dogs especially in terms of size FOR FREE FOR ANYONE. Follow us for updates on: Instagram: @Teacup_Maltipoos Facebook: Teacup Maltipoos UK Our females weigh 2 kg, and our studs are under 1.5 kg. They are red and KC registered. While genuinely smaller then toy sized dogs usually have 1-3 puppies, our incredibly tiny females typically have only 1-2 puppies. Due to the small litter sizes, the price is correspondingly higher. Please be aware that females truly smaller than standard toys do not have more puppies! Even ‘small toys’ up to 3 kg generally only have 3 puppies max. Otherwise, the female is likely a standard toy or even miniature size, and the puppies will end up significantly larger and will not remain small-sized, even if crossed with an under 2kg male. Dogs may appear similar as tiny as genuinely small-staying dogs at 8 weeks. However dogs that truly stay below 2kg will grow much slower, remain smaller and generally stop growing earlier as they ‘fill out’ rather than increase in height. If the puppy has a larger parent, especially one producing more than 3 puppies, they will not stop growing early but continue to increase in height. With both parents being genuinely as small as possible and both parents being below toy size, you can be sure your pup will remain truly small. We recommend joining our waitlist, as these rare puppies are in high demand. We combine the best of both worlds. Our pups are family-raised, and our dogs are pets first and foremost, but we also have the essential breeder expertise to ensure quality matings, healthy body proportions, genetic testing, and vet checks of pups. On top of our in-depth knowledge of nutrition and dedicated socialization programs from birth, we ensure the overall health, temperament, and well-being of our puppies. We use the smallest ethically suitable females at 2 kg, ensuring they are large enough for breeding, and use the tiniest studs available in the UK to minimize birthing complications. We further back up everything we’re saying with a comprehensive sales contract. Every puppy departs with a generous puppy pack (contents may slightly vary). This is a rare opportunity, as Maltipoos of this size and temperament are hard to find. Our breeding program focuses on family-raised Maltipoos that are extensively socialized to new environments, cats, other dogs, and children. They are low maintenance, not just because of their smaller size, but also because of our training, which helps them remain quiet and able to adapt whether they’re with you or at home. All our dogs are super friendly, affectionate, and quiet. 🤫 Vets, fertility clinics, and dog boarding facilities are all impressed with the health and lovely temperaments of our dogs! Maltipoos are the perfect family dogs—loving, good-natured, and very affectionate; they make everyone around them happy. They are highly adaptable and feel equally content playing at home or going on adventures outside, and they LOVE cuddles. They are also non-shedding, ideal if you prefer a hair-free environment or want a hypoallergenic dog. Our pups are: 🤩 Vet checked 🤩 Of BOTH DNA health-tested parents 🤩 Puppy pad trained 🤩 Used to playpen/crate training 🤩 Accustomed to grooming 🤩 Vaccinated and dewormed 🤩 Healthy body build 🤩 Family raised 🤩 Beginner friendly 🤩 Used to cats, dogs, and children 🤩 Sold with a sales contract 🤩 5 weeks of free insurance 🤩 Lowest shoulder height (max 8 inches) 🤩 On a grain-free, artificial additive-free diet Our support lasts for their lifetime and beyond. With us, you get: ❤️ Free holiday care ❤️ Call us anytime for emergencies ❤️ Tailored training advice (info, videos) ❤️ Free training at our location ❤️ We believe no question is too silly ❤️ As little or as much support as wanted ❤️ Breeder friendly: We sell to breeders at no extra charge. Please highlight breeding to us so we can match you with a puppy most suitable for your breeding program and share more relevant information about our lines.

Buyer's checklist for dogs and puppies

Be responsible, do your research!

Be responsible, do your research!

Rehoming a puppy is a massive commitment and different breeds have vastly different characteristics. For more info read our breed profiles. Make sure that you have researched the breed fully and ensured that it's the right breed for you, and your family. Our friends at PAAG have put together some great advice on how to buy a pet. Also ensure that the seller or breeder is genuine and ask alot of questions. A good breeder will help you choose a puppy whose temperament will suit your lifestyle and family circumstances, and won’t rush you into making a decision. Here are the most important questions to ask the breeder before viewing a puppy.

Puppies must be viewed with their mother in the seller's home!

Puppies must be viewed with their mother in the seller's home!

Always view the puppy at the seller’s home with the puppy’s mother. Do not accept any excuses for sending money without a viewing having taken place, or if the advertiser attempts to meet you at any other location than their own home. Unscrupulous sellers will often suggest another location to avoid showing the puppy’s true living conditions. The advertiser should ALWAYS let you see the puppies interact with their mother. Pets4Homes do not allow third party sale of puppies and all litters of puppies advertised, MUST have been bred by the advertiser. Make sure that the interaction between the puppy and its mother is natural to avoid the setting being staged.

Ask lots of questions

Ask lots of questions

Reputable breeders will be happy to answer any questions you have to help you find the right puppy. Important questions are about health tests and checks, the puppy’s parents, and much more.

Listen closely, is the breeder being evasive? If so, they may have something to hide.

Puppies must be 8 weeks when collected

Puppies must be 8 weeks when collected

Puppies must be at least 8 weeks old and fully weaned before they can leave their mothers. Please make sure to check the paperwork to ensure the puppy is old enough.

Microchips are a legal requirement

Microchips are a legal requirement

By law, all dogs over 8 weeks must be microchipped. Ask the seller for evidence and how to transfer the microchip details.

For puppies, breeders need to microchip their puppies under their own details first. You should ask for a copy before collection and never accept any excuse for sending them later.

Check the registered address matches where you visited. Puppy farmers will try and explain away why details don’t match - walk away.

Know your breeders

Know your breeders

Licensed breeders: Licensing regulations vary across the UK so please check the rules on your local council’s website or where you plan to buy.

Licensed breeders need to pass strict inspections to get their licence. They will be given a star rating from 1 to 5 and undergo periodic re-inspections to ensure they are meeting welfare standards. Pets4Homes checks their licence to give them the green badge on their advert. You can filter by licensed breeders in the search results.

Hobby breeders: These breeders usually have litters every now and then but don’t do it often enough to require a licence. Hobby breeders usually focus on one or two breeds and will be just as happy as licensed breeders to provide viewings with the mother and paperwork.

Puppy farmers: These are the ones to avoid! They can be hard to spot but they won’t do everything in this checklist. Look out for people avoiding your questions, trying to hide the pup’s mother, not showing an interest in how you will look after the puppy, or pressuring you to make a decision. Keep an eye out for any differences in addresses or personal details on paperwork too.

Health tests

Health tests

Great breeders will health test the parents to look for genetic conditions or potential diseases. Tests include hip scores, elbow scores, inbreeding coefficients, and many more. Different breeds have different tests - see our breed profiles.

Ask what health tests have been done and for paperwork to prove the results.

Breeders who do these tests tend to have healthier pups and will likely charge more as a result of running the tests.

Health check & paperwork

Health check & paperwork

The seller should be willing to let you take the pet to a vet of your choice for a health check and return the pet within 48 hours for a full refund if there are health issues. If the puppy has already been health checked, make sure you have this documented and phone their vet. The vet may not be able to disclose specific health information due to GDPR, however they should confirm the puppies have been checked. When you meet the puppy, they should be sociable and alert, with bright eyes and no visible health issues. Read about how to check the health of a dog here.

If the breeder claims the animal has been vaccinated and/or microchipped, ask to see records of these, including vaccination certificates and evidence of worming and flea treatments. It is required by law that all dogs over 8 weeks of age are microchipped and that the keepers' details registered against them are kept up to date. The breeder is responsible for microchipping the puppies and must have their details registered on the microchip database first. These records should be sent before collection and you should never accept any excuse for sending them later. For puppies, if they are advertised as Kennel Club registered, make sure you get a copy of their Registration Certificate before you buy the puppy.

Vaccinations

Vaccinations

If the breeder says the pet has been vaccinated ask to see vaccination certificates and any paperwork.

Worms and flea treatments

Worms and flea treatments

Ask about the puppy’s worms and fleas treatment schedule. Depending on the breeder’s schedule you may need to do the final treatments yourself.

Pet Payment & contract

Pet Payment & contract

Never pay for a puppy you haven’t met - not even a deposit. We suggest you pay through via Pet Payments to get the Pets4Homes Guarantee which protects against fraud and congenital illness and fights puppy farmers.

Deposits are usually considered non-refundable but are refundable with Pet Payments if the breeder is at fault.

If you do decide to pay offline, always know you can walk away at any time and report the seller to us.

We also encourage all new puppy owners to sign a contract with the seller to make sure that what has been agreed is formalised. You can find a specialised puppy contract here.

Trust your gut and walk away

Trust your gut and walk away

If you think a puppy may be the result of irresponsible breeding, do not “rescue” the puppy no matter how much you want to. We know it’s very hard but walk away and report the seller to us and your local council immediately. Save yourself the heartbreak and do the right thing.

You can read stories of people who got caught up with puppy farmers here.

Get your dog insured!

You should always get your pet insured as the cost of unexpected vet bills can be very high. Insure as early as possible as companies do not usually cover existing medical conditions. You want to be insured before anything develops.
