Do you like short or long haired Malteses?

[Alysser]

Sassy is a short-haired Maltese. Personally I like short-haired Malteses ALOT better because, well, I have one but I just was curious. Here is a picture of a long-haired one and then a short-haired one:

SHORT HAIRED

A short-haired maltese. And by that you mean a pet quality dog or a byb dog mixed with something? As far as I know there are not short-haired malteses. I prefer the long-haired look.

I like Long-haired Malteses But short-haired Malteses are pretty too

There is no coat difference in the Maltese. They should all have a long coat like the one you posted a pic of.

Maybe it's one of those new "designer" breeds from a Pm or BYB.

Sorry for the confusion. I mean like the Short-haired Maltese cut!

i prefer a maltese with a puppy cut..i think they are much cuter...definately wouldnt want to bother with all that long hair! lol

[lv4dogs]

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I like the looks of the long haired maltese better but I know that it can be very time consuming to keep the coat healthy & clean so I understand why people have the puppy cuts done.

I personally don't like their coat kept long much at all.

My grandma has 3 Maltese - all are kept short/medium. Here's a picture of my favorite dog of her's.



Her cut doesn't look too great at all here, my grandpa actually did it that time. Usually myself or my aunt groom her dogs for her.

Lol! What a cutie!

OMG! What a cute photo! I like that length...short/medium. I think the long would get all snarly & dirty pretty fast.

I like the long hair, but I would not want that long hair if I had one. I would keep it in a puppy cut. The long hair looks so regal and elegant but if I was not showing I would keep it short.

I think the long hair is very elegant, and, when seen at a dog show, I love it. But, for a dog in the house or just running around outside, I think the short cut is cuter.

Sassy had a long hair cut some years back. She was so unhappy outside so we now have puppy cuts for her

[buttercup132]
