Sweet, gentle Maltese dogs are a popular toy breed with a distinctive long, silky white coat. If your Maltese is a show dog, you have to keep that floor-length hair carefully tied up to prevent it from becoming tangled or breaking. But if your Maltese is strictly a companion with no one to impress but the neighborhood dog walker, you can elect to groom it in a puppy cut to keep it neat with much less upkeep.
