Welcome Tiffany, to the Wonderful (if sometimes wacky)world of Weis!
Of course, we are all horribly biased towards these grey beauties,
hairy or not, so be warned! LOL!
Your research is a great idea, we have a boarding kennel, and I come
across alot of people who pick a breed by looks. It is important to
look at not only is a breed right for you, but are you right for a
particular breed and dog.
On longhairs, I have met two I would call 'delightfuly mad', but on
the whole they ae a little more laid back than their smooth
counterparts. Now some people will tell you that can't be, but my
vet tells me that happens in other breeds too, that longhaired
daschunds are easier than smooths, and wirehaireds are quieter
still. So there you go.
Anyway, hope you find what and who you are after. If any of us can
be of any help, just ask.
