It's not bad. You have to brush them out once a week or so, maybe a bit more often with the Maltese. But I get him professionally clipped every few months, and I trim the hair around his eyes a bit more often. The latest puppy ate his topknot. It's a bit more difficult lately because he likes to stand directly underneath the sick dog as I toss her food, so he ends up with food in his coat.
It would probably be harder if they weren't largely inside dogs. The Maltese is a dirt magnet outdoors.
I probably don't bathe them as often as I ought. But I do try to keep them tangle free.
Some long coats are easier to care for than others.
