MalteseGrooming & Products


 Tips/Video's/Products We Use & Recommend on Grooming Your Korean Maltese
Let me Start by Saying the Korean Maltese do not stain like the  American Maltese.
 I plan on doing some tutorial videos in the future.  My Korean Maltese are extremely easy to care for on a daily basis and will share with you easy ways to keep them nice and white, to look like the stuffed doggies people think they are!  They do not look real is what everyone that see's them tell me!
I use the products my Korean Breeder recommends, plus a few of my own favorites.  


 Cleaning Little Faces & Eyes
 I  use the tearless, Blue Berry face wash and dilute in a foamer dispenser about 1/4 product to 3/4 water, and cotton rounds.  I use the the eye wash by Bausch & Lomb eye wash first, and apply to each little eye.  Them I apply the foam mix in the dispenser to the cotton round and rub into the hair and area around the eye, to loosen any debris or eye crust.  I kinda massage once damp and take my face comb to comb right out.  I do not need to do this daily but I do use the face comb daily on all my dogs.  I use this same method on the Yorkie eyes as well, to keep eyes and face clean.

For Cleansing the Eyes, I do this daily on My Maltese & Yorkies.

Face Combs are a must for keeping the faces clean and soft. The fine teeth in the combs keeps the faces fluffy as well.

Blue Berry  Tearless Face Wash.  Mixed 1/4 to 3/4 water. You mix to a watery consistency so will pump into a foam.

Pin Tail/ Rat Tail Comb

for parting off and doing top knots and brushing the head hair.  This one kinda pricey but quality.  Make sure you do not get fine tooth for this come and can quickly brush through top know hair.

 Grooming Supplies Korean Style
 I  have about gotten the Korean Bow Tie faces and grooming down to an Art!  Yay!  Me being a Master Hair Stylist and Studying At Vidal Sassoon has sure been Helpful!  But Actually the faces are not that hard, and much cuter than the Korean faces were like 5 years ago when  way too much of the face was being cut.  Here are the Products we use.

The Ear Cleaner I use.

I clean Little Ears often on the Maltese and they cant breath to get air.  So it is important to stay of top of ear cleaning.  I use q-tips and gently flush the ears.

If your going to groom at home the CURVED SHEARS ARE A MUST FOR MALTESE! The Purple Dragan Set is very reasonable and great for beginners. I use all in my Kit with every groom.  I use the curved shears for most all my grooming, paws, shape legs, etc.

Andis  Clippers are the best of the market.  Pricey but I have had mine for 18 years and LOVE THEM. I use the 10 blade often. This is for clipping the bodies and NOT TRIMMING.  You need Peanut Trimmers for ears,  potty area, or finer skin area's that could be cut easily.

New Korean Style Faces
Below are labeled photo's of how I received my Korean Maltese.  I have pretty much gotten the Korean Grooming down to and ART & I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT &  AM ADDICTED! 
You do NOT clip as much of the face as was being done a few years back and its much cuter.  On the Korean Puppies/Adults you also pull some of the eye and nose hair to grow long up into the top knot, so does not stain and much cuter than the original top knots.  I do the Yorkie Top Knots the same way now.  
On puppies you have to make the top knot low and closer to the eyes to get the short hair up in the band, but as it grows you can go higher up on the head with the top knot.  I do 2 ponytails for everyday on my Maltese and Yorkies, one closer to the eyes.
Then for fru-fru days I pull all the hair up into one.
Please take note below of the the lines and where you STOP to make the BOW TIE KOREAN FACE.  DO NOT cut too deep or it ruins the look of the face.  In most all the Older youtubes which is below, while great grooming tips, too much of the face and body are being cut.
So make note of pictures below, and keep in mind with watching grooming tips on video.

DO NOT GO PAST THE EDGE OF EYE FOR BOW TIE OR TOO DEEP AND CUTS TO MUCH HAIR.  I STAY SLIGHTLY BETWEEN MID EYE AND EDGE OF EYE. 

Below is some youtube videos tutorials from Maltese Obsession 

THAT ARE GREAT!  Bathing, Grooming the Korean Maltese.  However the faces are done differently now, with leaving more of the face and just doing the Bow tie around the mouth, which is adorable!  But this lady is fabulous with alot of info!  So subscribe and watch!
