How long does it take for the Maltese coat to reach the floor?
The Maltese coat takes about a year to grow to the floor, but then only with special care. You should use good shampoos and conditioners, bathing no less than once a week and as it gets longer maybe every 4 days. Some show breeders wrap the hair so it won’t break, taking it out and rewrapping it every day or two. Some put the dog in oil or do both.
