Q. & A. with Christine
Why did you start breeding?
Hi! I have always wanted to establish my own breeding program. It wasn't until I purchased my first maltipoo, Daisy, that I quickly fell in love with the breed. Her sweet nature, gentle soul and playful personality has brought so much joy to our home. As my children have grown, I felt this was a natural progression for me. It’s been so fulfilling connecting families with their furever friends!

Parent health testing
Breeder-Reported Testing
Good level
Cece's Maltipoos reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Maltipoos.
Eye Examination (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Cardiac Evaluation (rDVM, not registered with OFA)
Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Full Embark Panel, PRA, Rod-Cone Degeneration (PRA-prcd), DNA Disease Panel
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
Health testing is one key piece of responsible breeding and is performed on breeding dogs to prevent the presence of heritable conditions in their puppies.
