How to trim the hair of a Maltese dog? A must read for newbies

Many people like to raise long-haired dogs, but for long-haired dogs, the most difficult thing is to trim the hair. What I want to talk about with you is the Maltese dog. So how to trim the hair of the Maltese dog?

The standard Maltese dog, the Maltese, has a long, silky lustrous coat, a longer body, a shorter body, and pure white plump long hair, but its eyes and nose are black. Lively and bold in action. The neck is about 1/2 of the height, giving people a strong and powerful feeling. The curly tail rises up on the back, with a string of dense and long radial feathers, giving people a very elegant feeling.

When grooming a Maltese dog, pay attention to the modification of the head. Half of the hair on the lower edge of the eyes can be cut off. The hair on the bridge of the nose should be combed equally from the midline to both sides. The thicker beard and long hair around the lips should be cut off from the roots. The length of the beard on both sides should be about 1/3 of the head length. The hair on the back hangs down to the sides along the midline of the back. Use combs and scissors to trim 1 cm around the base of the tail. The tail hair should be separated to the left and right. A small amount of oil can be applied to the base of the tail. The surrounding areas of the feet should be trimmed into a round shape with scissors along the toes. The hair growing between the toes should be carefully trimmed.

For dogs with a lot of body hair, you can lift the outer body hair with your hands and comb the inner hair with a comb. If the hair is sparse, let the inner hair droop naturally and then comb it down with a comb; when combing the outer hair, comb it from top to bottom in three or four times, and never comb it to the bottom with one comb. When trimming the hem, let the dog stand on the trimming table, hold the comb in your left hand to press the long hair, fix one side of the comb on the trimming table, and then trim it, so that it can be cut into a beautiful hem. The knotting of the coat on the head is the same as that of the Shih Tzu.
