Do you like short or long haired Malteses?

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:

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

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. :o 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:)

i love the long haired ones!!
