Good to know

  • Pure companion: a toy breed from Germany developed purely to be a loving companion, they keep a playful, whimsical attitude well into adulthood.
  • Long silky coat: their tricolor coat needs daily brushing to stop tangles, plus regular baths and trims; many owners keep it in a shorter cut.
  • Modest exercise: short walks and indoor play cover most of their needs, which makes them well suited to apartment living.
  • Toy carriers: many like to carry toys around and are generally friendly and easy to get along with.
  • A low-shedding coat. Some people with allergies find that easier to live with, but no breed is allergen-free.

Getting out with a Biewer Terrier

Daily walks and some play keep them content. A mix of park time and easy trails suits them.
