Biewers

[Jennxling]

So my question is, Do biewers have undercoat?

Also, for those who have biewers, how big were your babies at 8 weeks and current size? I'm asking because there's a biewer puppy that I'm interested in; she is 2.3 lbs and just turned 8 weeks today!

I would really appreciate your input!

I can't help with the weight as Bogie was 9 months old when we adopted him. Biewers are like Yorkies as far as coat goes....no undercoat Good luck on your search!!!

The general rule of thumb is to triple their 8 week weight or double their 12 week weight. But in my experience you have to do that and add a pound.

Even though Biewers do not have an undercoat, they do separate into silky and cottony. My Dori has very thick, coarse cottony fur. Although shiny and healthy, it mats easily. I keep her in an "aDorible" puppy cut!!

Bogie is a cotton coated Biewer too. I kept him in full coat until this past winter. I was tired of torturing him with the combing. He is styling with the Joey/Zhoie cut now..

Love that tail; looks like a bigger Biewer. Weight? My Dori is 5.5 lbs.

They don't have an undercoat.
As for the weight, if your breeder knows their lines behind their breedings, they should be able to give you a very good *estimate* of how big this girl will get. On a guess, she could be up to 8 lbs based on her weight right now, but then again, she could be only 4 1/2 - 5 lbs. Your breeder is probably the best source for the info, and/or any of their previous puppy buyers that have Biewers from the parents this girl has.

Thanks and yes I do his haircuts myself. I don't trust groomers

That is such a cute style for the Biewers; that is how I have team furry cut down when they are done in the show ring. I think it is wonderful Michelle that you can do the styling yourself.

Jen, as far as puppy-size, what does the breeder say? The puppy can grow up to be as small as 5# or as big as 8-8.5#. The information from the breeder should be able to give you a good guide as to what to expect.

The breeder says that she will be pretty small. She is smaller than the other female puppy in the same litter. The parents are both 5-6 lbs. I had told her that I'm looking for a puppy that will grow to be around 5-6 lbs and she said that the one that she has available [currently 2.3 lbs @ 8 weeks] will be small, but never said that exact weight range she will be...Is 2.3 @ 8 weeks on the bigger side for biewer puppies?? Thanks Dee!!

WOW You did a wonderful job! If you weren't so far away, I would ask you to groom Carmel for me. lol

Here's a picture of the puppy. I keep resizing the other ones, but they are still too big so I guess this will have to do.

Jenn, the 8 week weight for this puppy is very average at this point. My last litter at 8 weeks the girls were just under 2#. I expect that both Snickers and Almond Joy will be about 5-6#, with Snickers being the smaller one of the two, she will be closer to the 5#. My mom was 6# and the sire is 3.5# if that helps.

Thanks Dee!! So she could possibly grow to about 6 lbs?? Cool, that would be perfect. I'm going to wait out and see her weight at 10 weeks and then decide...Will update on whether I end up getting her.
