Not sure about your question either.....

I'd suggest you just try to grow it long and see if you like it. Not all Maltese are blessed with the correct silk coat. It's hard to tell about Tobi's from the picture. If he has a more cottony coat, you'll want to keep him in a puppy cut.

Give it a try and see what you think.

How old is Tobi? If he hasn't gone through his coat change yet, you might want to wait to try to grow his coat long. They get their adult coat towards the end of their first year and mats can really be a problem.
