No dog is "hypo-allergenic" but there are certain breeds that are low-shed and therefore better for allergy sufferers. Poodles are extremely low-shed, and Corgis shed a ton, so its hard to say what you would get out of mixing the two. If it truly a concern and you would like a mixed breed, I would suggest two low-shed dogs like the poodle and the bichon.

I have a corgi-poo. He sheds very little. If you really look at him you can tell he is a Welsh Corgi and a Poodle mix. He does however, have more of the fluffy fur as a poodle does. He requires more maintenance because of this. So it does just depend which gene he or she inherits.

No sorry they have a coat that sheds a very large amount. Hypo allergenic dogs are poodles, bichons, and other curly coated breeds.

Why is your Maltese sheding?

if it's a pure bread Maltese, it should not shed because Maltese have no undercoat which is what makes most other dogs shed--they also have hair which makes them hypoallergenic. Are you sure you have a real Maltese? But something that would help is to comb him/her every day to get rid of some of the hair that would have gotten everywhere.
