As a woman cuts her overgrown curls, following a certain style and image, trying to look well-groomed, so thoroughbred dogs, which by nature have long hair, also require the removal of excess hair. Among the long-haired dogs, the lap-dog has gained particular popularity: her hair sometimes hangs to the floor, while this dog is not very tall.

Maltese lapdogs at the exhibition - an occasion for the arrival of a huge number of spectators. A white Maltese lap-dog with long, floor-length hair is very beautiful, but each of these dogs is trained for several hours for such a show. Maltese lapdog requires professional shampoo - the goal is to give it a brilliant snow-white shade. Using a special balm or oil, they achieve easy combing of wool.

Trimming is minimal - it excludes only intensive dragging of wool on the floor. Also do styling - and the dog is ready for demonstration at the show.

Cutting out hair in the genital area of ​​females and males has a natural difference. On the male’s head, the hair is cut mostly shortly, but the female is left with long locks, sometimes braiding them in the form of braids. But "girls" are not suitable for clipping "under the puppy."

Most of the “dog’s curls” are trimmed in length, which allows the dog’s skin to breathe, and the remaining coat to look well-groomed. To trim the lap “under the puppy”, perform the following steps:

• cut off excess hair near the ear canal, apply ear drops to the just treated area;
• wash the lap-dog with a bleaching compound, apply a moisturizing balm on the coat, then dry and comb the coat;
• cut off excess hair in the area of ​​the paw pads;
• repeating combing all the hair, cut off the excess on the face, using ordinary and scissors for thinning, leaving a little longer locks in the ear area;
• trim the excess wool on the sides, on the back and on the stomach with a machine;
• cut the hair in the area of ​​the anus and genitals with scissors;
• round out the outline of the coat on the legs;
• apply spray to all strands to give a glossy shine.

In addition to the “puppy” and classic show haircuts, others are also used:

• under the teddy bear;
• under the chinchilla;
• in Korean.

In the genital and posterior areas, the hair is shortened - this will allow the lapdog to avoid inflammation from a lack of access to open air. On the abdomen and in the area of ​​the paw pads, the wool is also removed. Significant hair removal right up to the head will allow the dog to feel comfortable in hot summer weather.

Additional tips are as follows.

• Washing the dog is necessary: ​​particles of sand and clay can quickly blunt the scissors or spoil the machine. Use conditioning and moisturizing compounds for washing - they will make the strands obedient.
• Cut or unravel the tangles and dry the pet thoroughly.
• When cutting a particularly aggressive dog, use a muzzle.
• With electric cutting, move the hair clipper in the direction of hair growth, otherwise you risk making the dog almost bald.
• Trimming near the eyes is carried out in the direction from them, otherwise cut off hairs can get into the dog’s eyes.
• Near the anus, cut the cover by hand.
• Lop-eared Maltese lapworms require processing of ear canals with ear drops every 10 days. If there are tear paths in the eye area - remove or replace one of the components of the pet's diet. Remove the lacrimal paths with a special gentle bleach.
• A calm and relaxed atmosphere helps to avoid severe aggression from the pet.

• Do not use household scissors for cutting (for example, for cutting sheet metal) - they will tear and crush the strands during processing. High-quality scissors for cutting are sharp, like a razor, and exclude tearing of hairs.
• Do not cut the dog under the machine without a nozzle - there is a great risk of leaving bumps that are difficult to remove even by a professional.
• Entrust the first cutting to the specialist. Thanks to the experience of handling pets, the master will form a calm, non-aggressive and healthy perception of the hair care procedures in the dog at the level of reflexes, and the first hair cutting session in the dog’s life will be short-lived.
• Entrust the Maltese lapdog to a groomer who previously worked with dogs of this breed.
