It was love at first sight from the moment we met our little Sugarbabies Sasha. Her expressive sweet face and loving nature endeared her to us immediately. She loves being cuddled and will be on a lap anytime you pat your knee and say “come”. But she isn’t just a lap dog.  She has boundless energy and loves her “walkies”, her play time fetching her toys, and she especially enjoys running with other dogs when we visit friends with fenced-in areas. We continue to be astounded at how fast her little legs can go. She loves meeting people. On our daily walks when someone approaches, her tail wags, then she sits down and waits for them to come and say hello. Because of her unusual coloring she elicits many questions. “What is she?” is the most common question as they try to guess her breed. A woman on a sidewalk in Asheville recently asked, “What kind of designer dog is she?”  I always quickly respond she is a Biewer Yorkie, or if they can’t remember that, then a “German Yorkie”.  If I have the time I tell them about the Biewer’s background.  She is very healthy (a testament of good breeding) and has only been to the vet’s for routine shots and her annual exam. Because of our extremely hot summer, and shoulder surgery that limited my grooming ability, we cut her hair a few months ago.  I plan to allow her coat to grow long over the winter. One thing that has never been cut is her tail. It is her “crowning feature” and is constantly wagging.

Beverly & Jim

Beverly first met 14 month old Canoli, a CandyLand Biewer, when she visited her sister Peggy and her husband Bob in Virginia. Peggy introduced Beverly to Christine Linnemeyer, the owner of Canoli and his mother.

We had heard good things about Canoli as Peggy had done some dog sitting for him and his family from time to time. Beverly immediately fell in love with little Canoli with his sweet face and the many, many kisses that he loves to give. Christine and Dave were looking for a good home for him at the time of her visit. Adoption was discussed with them and Beverly was impressed with the concern they had with questions about his well being if we were to adopt him and how he would be raised. She could tell that Christine was definitely a “dog lover” who cared very much for her dogs and wanted to make sure that Canoli would be going to a good home.

We decided that Canoli would become a member of our family in Vermont, and Canoli arrived at our home on October 26, 2009 after a long 10 hour car trip with Peggy and Bob.

After his arrival Canoli greeted each person that was here as if to say “hello”. He is a very healthy and friendly little fellow and has adapted to his new environment very well. He is very inquisitive, intelligent, and has a very pleasant personality.

He loves to lie on your lap and have “belly rubs” and to cuddle. He plays with his toys and keeps himself amused if we are busy. Canoli loves to run in his fenced-in yard and looks forward to each morning for his walk with Jim and meeting new people and other dogs along the way. He is a bundle of “energy” and we love him very much in return.
