This is because the pet will the higher score will have minimal needs and be easier to have as a pet.
The Better-Pet score for the Maltipoo is 86 out of 125 while the Better-Pet score for the Tibetan Spaniel is 82 out of 125.

Although we have done our best to analyze these two dog breeds in a very unbiased way, however, we will like to let you know that there are some dog attributes that cannot be assigned a number for comparison. We cannot put a number on how cute a dog breed is, for example. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Also, the dog breed that best suits you will depend on your peculiar lifestyle, your taste, and your priorities, which we do not know. So, for you to decide on which breed is right for you, read through the rest of the article to further understand both the Maltipoo and the Tibetan Spaniel so that you can make your own well-informed decision on which pet to get.
