Smooth or Curly, What should I chose?

[Shelley & Beans]

About 8 months ago I asked myself this very question, and I know there are newbies out there trying to decided the very same thing so this is my advice to you. 

I chose my beloved Beans about 8months ago, after switching from the smoothest in the litter (of the males) to the curliest. See my page for baby pics. I scanned the forums and posts of this wonderful site and like many became aware that the first impression isn't always what you end up with. The package often has layers. 

For us the biggest Uh huh moment came with his first haircut! He went from being totally shaggy to tight, tight curl. I do not believe that it will grow out again. I began this journey wanting to pick the smoothest coated puppy, in hopes that he would be shaggy...(in the end, Beans was the curliest-puppy with eyes open) but just as I read, you never know. I also agree that once they have stolen your heart it won't matter. So pick the one that steals your heart, the one you know HAS to be yours, and in the end LOVE will abide!

We got the curliest of the litter but just because of his coloring & he felt "just right" in my arms. There was a family who planned on picking Mickey but didn't & went for the straight hair and Cooper is a s sheader. Mickey Finn does not shed!
