Is every Maltese Coat Different?

Hi Maltymad,
As a matter of fact I just read an article on a Maltese site about how, even the same Maltese, can have different fur. It may be finer toward the head, coarser toward the rear and more curly. The coat will also vary from Maltese to Maltese. The coat should be completely silky, however, that's one of the breed standards that will not necessarily apply to our pet. Hope this helps.

I have read the same thing.... when it comes to his coat Tiki is a "pet quality" malt . Of course he is an angel and I wouldn't give him up for anything. His fur is very silky and wavy on his head, legs and chest. He has a little appricot color on his ears. From his shoulders back, his fur changes from silky to wooly with a mix of very white to off white color. His tail is silky, strait and white. I also read it takes around 2 years for them to loose their puppy fur, but not sure about that as Tiki is not quite a year old yet.

I have noticed though that when I brush him, his fur is much more silky close to the skin. I may be drying it out when I give him a bath and blow him dry. I can always tell when he needs a bath as the fur around his ears gets a little oily.

I do think the coat is secondary to the personality of these little ones! They are just a joy!

Hi, the email address I have been given by the husband is [email protected], he said his wife normally deals with email address and she is not home for two weeks, away with her mother!
address sounds wrong though. I think it would be best to telephone to discuss it.
or do a search for the bichon club in the UK.

hope this helps!
