I know you wouldn't be able to say much since you can touch and feel her, but any comments are welcome. My adult Yorkie is black and tan and we keep her in a puppy cut, but my Biewer is a little tiny fart - just 2 lbs. 14 oz. She has the most beautiful coloring - but I'm going to assume that she has a modified silk coat? Her hair is very long and it is silkyish, but mats and tangles easily. Am I correct in saying this?
(BTW - I took both of them to a groomer for the first time ever a couple weeks ago and she CUT the long flowing hair on top of her head to half length without telling me. When I took out her topknot I almost DIED. She also cut a little too much on the sides where it was touching the ground, now it's about an inch shorter and she cut hair on the legs. She did an exceptional job grooming them, esp my Yorkie, but should have asked about cutting her hair.)

I hadn't thought of this until just now .. I think I will start practicing on my little Biewer girl hair wrapping. Hahaha, she won't know what in the heck I'm doing to her. LOL

Mardelin - have you ever seen someone bring in a cotton coat dog to show? You mentioned the coat reflecting light, and her hair does do that. Its very shiny, esp after I give her a bath.
A coat should reflect light and it should be evident even in moonlight. The coat should be cool to the touch. And when lifted up with a brush it out and let it go it should drop right back into place

Yes, cotton coats have been taken into the ring. And remember a cotton coat can be a dark steel blue and not only black.
