How long is her mustache? You mentioned in your post it was fairly long. If there is no reason you are keeping it long your best bet would be to cut it shorter. Show dogs that grow their mustaches out are always wrapped up so that they dont get it in their food/water and most importantly that they dont chew it off.

The wiskers in the hair are what is causing it to stand out and not lay flat. Again, in show dogs, these hairs are cut out so that the hair lays nice and evenly.

You figure, everywhere she sticks her nose her mustache is in it too. Also, if she has over productive tear ducts this can add to the mess allowing goop and red yeast to colonize.

I am sure you both would be happier with a shorter mustache!
