Best Answer

There is no such dog breed as a maltipoo. Nor is there any size of dog called a "teacup", the smallest size for dogs is toy. "Teacup", "pocket", etc., are names that some breeders started calling their undersized runts to con idiots into buying them at an inflated price. So the proper wording for you question is:

~Is a toy poodle and Maltese mixed breed dog larger or smaller than a toy poodle and Maltese mix that is the runt of the litter?~

The answer to your question would be that generally a normal sized dog is larger than an undersized dog...but since you are asking which mutt would be larger, there is no guarantee how either dog will turn out.

A Maltese is a toy dog (a toy Maltese is the same as saying a normal Maltese--which should weigh 5-8 lbs.), so a teacup Maltese is smaller than a toy Maltese. A teacup should weigh about 3.5-4.5 lbs.

What is a teacup Maltese?

A teacup Maltese is a smaller Maltese. The term "teacup" is a marketing tool referring to really small, and often unhealthy, dogs. "Teacup" puppies are often badly-bred puppies, with no concerns to their health or temperament - they are only bred to produce the smallest-sized puppies possible. No responsible breeder will breed or even sell a very small or unhealthy puppy.

What is the difference between toy and miniature poodles?

The most notable difference between toy and miniature poodles is their size. There are three separate registered types of poodles recognized by kennel clubs: standard, miniature and toy. Toy poodles are the smallest of the poodles, and Miniature is one size up. Additionally, most poodle breeders break the "toy" category into three separate subcategories: teacup, tiny-toy and toy. Although these categories aren't kennel-club recognized, breeders use them to differentiate between the size of their dogs. Although the specific numbers vary from breeder to breeder, this is a good rule for adult dogs: Standard: 18 + lbs. Miniature: 12 - 18 lbs. Toy: 6 - 12 lbs., shorter than 10 inches Tiny Toy: 4 - 6 lbs. Teacup: <4 lbs.
