Mastidoodle Activity Requirements

The Mastidoodle is a cross between a Maltese and a Poodle, and is one of the most popular designer breeds. These dogs are small, weighing in at between 8-12 pounds, and they are very playful and affectionate. The Mastidoodle is a highly intelligent, active and curious dog, so they require a lot of exercise and mental stimulation. They may need up to an hour or more of vigorous play each day. This can be broken up into several short sessions or one big outing. The small size of the Mastidoodle is one of its best features. If you live in an apartment or don’t have much outdoor space, a Mastidoodle may be a great companion for you. They will do well in almost any environment, as long as they get their daily walks, games of fetch, and time to play.
