I'm Tonya P., the breeder behind Little Loves Maltipoos located in Buckeye, AZ. At Little Loves Maltipoos, our dogs are a part of our family, from sleeping in our beds to vacationing with us. We are a small scale holistic breeder of multigenerational Maltipoo puppies. Our goal is to provide you with best family-raised puppies to become a loving part of your family too.
Q. & A. with Tonya
Why did you start breeding?
Growing up, my mum bred AKC Goldens. I grew up raising pups. When my last Golden died at the good old age of 16, I decided I wanted a non-shedding lap dog (or 3 of them)! I'VE FALLEN IN LOVE WITH MALTIPOOS! I didn't know I needed a constant cuddle companion. When searching for a Maltipoo I ran into many scammers. I decided I would bring happy healthy Maltipoos to the people who need them too.
What makes your program special?
These pups are being raised in our home, with the constant song of parakeets, piano practice, and grandbabies coming over to climb in the whelping box. We utilize many techniques such as ENS, ESI, and noise desensitization from thunder to doorbells. These work to create well balanced less anxious dogs. These pups come saturated in love as we spend hours everyday playing with and caring for them.
What are the different breed coat colors in your program?
Our puppies include apricot, brown, cream, and red. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Dodi, dad
Maltipoo
About Dodi
Dodi is ALL LOVE! He is all about the cuddles and constant connection to you. He loves to play in the yard for a few minutes and then just wants to sit on your lap. He's the best lap dog! Dodi absolutely loves car rides and sticking his head out the window with his fluffy face blowing in the wind. Dodi is super smart and has learned so many tricks! He learned sit in one day at 8 weeks old. He's also a dancer, getting up on his hind legs and spinning. We absolutely adore our little man!

Tonya truly loves her dogs and puppies. She and her family are such lovely people. She is so knowledgeable and helpful. Tonya opened her home to us and allowed us to pick our little Radar out. Our little one got the absolute best start to life. Thank you to Tonya and her family for being so wonderful.
I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for Maltipoo puppies.
