I have seen so many amazing pictures of your babies with flowing white locks.
At what age are your Malteses as they have that length in hair.(that made no sense)
Should I tye my fur babies hair up when it starts to get in her eyes?
What is a good shampoo to use that keeps her hair white and healthy.
Are tear stains there through teething or for the whole of "puppy hood"?

If I could get some answers soon that would be great!!:)

I think you should tie it up sometimes like for walks maybe. The hair in my puppies face doesn't even seem to bother him much.
Enzo tears but his tears don't stain much anymore (not sure why). I do wash his face every day or two so that could be keeping the stains away. Also when his face does get wet with tears he wipes it all over his bed lol so it dries right up.

Use a gentle shampoo on your puppy such as coat handler; tie up the hair to keep the hair out of the eyes to prevent irritation; watch for red ingredients in food to prevent tearing and red stains can be a result of teething, ear infections or foods.

Oh and did I mention a good brush is an "essential." I just bought another CC brush, the small 20mm fusion boy brush and one of the boar's hair brushes for finishing. I have a cheap boar's hair brush and they loved being brushed with it. So get a good brush with ones that have no "ball tips" at the end.
