My mom and I both have a biewer. She has a 4 year old girl and I have a 1 year old boy. They are just the sweetest little dogs. I have a yorkie girl too. The personality is a little different with my two. My Bogie loves,loves,loves to play and he wants to be held and cuddled a lot. Jada likes to be cuddled on her own terms!!LOL His coat was short when we got him in July and we have been letting it grow out. It is a cottony coat and I don't know if they are all that way or not. It seems the longer it gets it is smoothing out pretty well. I think they are just the sweetest little dogs and have such a loving personality.
