How do i tell the difference between a toy poodle and maltese?

I bought a Toy poodle, suspecting it might be a maltese, just that the hair cut is that of a toy poodle|||poodles have more of a curly coat, while maltese should have a straight silky coat.|||Familiarize yourself with the breeds. In person is best, but also through online websites and breed books.|||Poodle's fur is usually curl and Maltese have straight shiny fur.|||maltese hair is long and straight. poodle short and curly
