As you can tell from Chloe's picture she has quite a bit of lemon on her. In fact overall she is an off-white color. I saw her parents and they were both white, and I got her from a great breeder. She's only six months so I don't know if she'll ever be
snow white but she does get lighter and lighter whenever she is clipped, regularly since we keep her in a puppy cut.
What's strange is that I've had people who have maltese (with beautiful white coats)ask me if she's a maltipoo. Their looks almost make me feel like they think she's inferior.
Usually people who don't have Malts recognize her breed right away. I did meet one gentleman at the vet who said Chloe is too cute for words and that Maltese are wonderful dogs.
I love my baby no matter what color she is...
