Bite Force

They are primarily bred and cherished as companion dogs rather than for guarding or protection purposes. Their small stature and friendly, non-aggressive nature make them well-suited for their role as loving and affectionate family pets.

Maltipoos have a gentle disposition and are generally more inclined to shower their owners with love and attention rather than exhibit protective behaviours. They are known for their friendly and sociable nature, often seeking human companionship and forming strong bonds with their families.

While Maltipoos may alert their owners to the presence of strangers or unfamiliar sounds through barking, it is important to note that their purpose is not to act as guard dogs or provide protection. Their size and temperament make them more suited to being companions and bringing joy and companionship to their human families.

If you are looking for a breed that is specifically bred for guarding or protection purposes, there are other breeds that are better suited for those roles. Breeds such as German Shepherds, Rottweilers, or Doberman Pinschers are known for their guarding instincts, protective nature, and higher bite force. These breeds undergo specialised training and have the physical attributes necessary to fulfil roles in security or protection work.
