Cream Maltipoo (Pictures included)

Quick answer: A cream Maltipoo has a soft ivory or off-white coat that is slightly warmer than pure white. Cream is one of the most popular Maltipoo colors, and some cream puppies have light apricot shading on the ears that may fade with age. Cream Maltipoos grow to the same size as any Maltipoo, about 5 to 20 pounds, and need the same grooming.

Cream is one of the most popular and sought after Maltipoo colors, along with red and apricot. The lighter cream color can sometimes appear to be white and may also have patches or blends of lighter or darker colors.

Cream vs White Maltipoo

A white Maltipoo is pure bright white, while a cream Maltipoo has a warm ivory tint. In photos, and especially after a fresh bath, cream can look almost white. Placing your puppy next to something bright white is the easiest way to tell the difference.

Cream vs Apricot Maltipoo

An apricot Maltipoo has a peachy orange color, while cream is much paler. Many apricot puppies lighten over their first year and can end up looking cream as adults.

Will a Cream Maltipoo Change Color?

Most cream Maltipoos stay cream. Puppies with apricot ears or shading may lighten to an even cream, and some light coats look a little darker after a haircut because the hair closer to the skin is often a shade deeper. See Maltipoo color changes for more.

Keeping a Cream Coat Clean

Light coats show tear stains and dirt more easily. A daily face wipe, brushing a few times a week and a bath every 3 to 4 weeks keep a cream Maltipoo looking its best. See all colors in our Maltipoo colors gallery.
