We have one right now, BIG wanderlust need, so be prepared for that! She barks a lot though, so maybe it won't be best if you work at home. Otherwise, she is the best thing that happened to us! Sweetest thing ever!

This is a very cute, friendly, and small type of dog. I don't think there's any better dog breed. (P.S. THEY ARE ADORABLE)

Great dog! My family has had one for 5 years. Super friendly and great with kids. I don't think we could have found a better dog. Maltipoo dogs bark quite a bit though.
