They don't have fur, they have hair so when you brush them a little comes out in the brush like your own hair but they don't shed. They have great personalities, they're very friendly and great little lap dogs. I was at Westminster this week and got to see all the wonderful dogs and talk to the breeders.
Wow! You got to be at Westminster? What a wonderful opportunity to see so many different breeds, and talk to the people who own them!

She said she likes short coats, whic h is why I didn't consider the Yorkie! I once met a Yorkie puppy, years ago, as I was walking around a pet supply store that also did grooming and boarding, so there were often at least a couple dogs wandering around. As I entered the aisle for fish food, I heard "yip!" pause "yip!" pause "yip!" at regular intervals. I looked down, and there was the tiniest puppy I had ever seen - smaller than my shoe. She was wandering around, just yipping at regular intervals, fairly quietly, just as if to say .. "I'm here! Don't step on me!"
