|
DESCRIPTION: The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier is that of a long-haired toy Terrier whose hair hangs evenly and quite
straight down the side of the body, and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier
should be very compact and neat. The Biewers long tail should be carried up. The outlines should give the
impression of the powerful and well proportioned body. The Biewers hair on the body has a length 3/4 down the
sides of the dog, or long enough to reach the ground, and is absolutely straight (not wholly), shiny like silk and of fine
silky texture, without an undercoat. Coloring of the coat of the trunk and the head piece are as follows; rather white
or blue-white broken or closely blue absolutely, or black, without brown coloring. Hair on the breast, pure white on
the belly, and the legs. The Biewers head has white, blue, gold, symmetrical colored.
TEMPERAMENT: The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier seems oblivious of its small size. It is very eager for adventure. This
little dog is highly energetic, brave and clever. Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom pon are intelligent, loyal and very
devoted to their family. Biewers are fun-loving, making them a great companion for all ages. They are affectinate
with their masters, but they can be hard to house break if their owner lacks leadership. Biewer Yorkies are good
watch-dogs and are good with well mannered children.
HEIGHT and WEIGHT: Up to 8.5 in and 7 lbs.
LIFE EXPECTANCY: 15 yrs.
GROOMING: The Biewer Yorkies hair is fairly easy to groom if you comb it out once a week. Their coats are
non-shedding.
ORIGIN: The Biewer Yorkie originated in Germany in 1984 and was a piebald genetic recessive gene occurrence
exhibiting a specific banded/stripped offspring produced by Gertrud and Werner Biewer's Yorkshire Terriers. The
sire and dame of the first recognized Biewer Yorkie were "Darling of Friedheck" and "Frufru of Friedheck". The
Biewer's saw this little dog with it's white markings as extraordinarily attractive and began the selective breeding
process to produce more. The Biewer's named these little dogs with their white markings "Biewer Yorkshire a la
Pom Pon". Thus the beginning of the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier as we know them today.
The first German Biewer Yorkshire Terrier club was established on May 24, 2003. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was
recognized as a breed unto itself long before this date though when the general public recognized it unofficially as a
breed. The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier is bred, registered and shown in other countries and is on the top of the
popularity list for the United States. Few registries in the United States as this date have acknowledge the Biewer
Yorkshire as a breed. The American Canine Registry is one of the few and the first United States known registry that
does recognize the Biewer as a breed and is helping to promote the breed in the United States and throughout the
world by the breed name of "Biewer Yorkie". The American Canine Registry formed the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier
Association on May 15, 2003 preparing to set in place breed standards and other club necessities and applied for
recognition in 2004 to be the Biewer Breed Club for ACR.
The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was originally a piebald genetic recessive gene occurance from 2 Yorkshire Terriers
but unscrupulous breeders have tried to match the looks of the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier by crossing the Yorkshire
Terrier and the Shih-Tzu. The crossing will produce the parti/piebald/banded/stripped white markings from the
Shih-Tzu influence after the second generation but these crossbred dogs would take generations before they would
produce the hair coat and the facial features seen in the Biewer Yorkshire. If the dog being presented to you as a
Biewer Yorkshire has wavy and/or course hair, or the facial features or body style of the Shih-Tzu then it's highly
unlikely that it is a TRUE purebred Biewer Yorkshire Terrier.
The AKC registers what is a close anomaly to the Biewer as Tri-color Yorkshire Terriers but the markings of the
Tri-color are not as distinctive in pattern as the Biewer Yorkie bloodlines from Germany. AKC however does not
allow the showing of the Tri-color Yorkies and AKC's Yorkshire Terrier breed club's standards shows it as a
disqualification and the clubs policies consider it unethical to reproduce the Tri-colorYorkies.
The Biewer Yorkie Association is the first and only known United States Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Club that formed in
order to promote, educate, document, register and propagate the Stripped/Banded patterned Yorkie in the United
States by starting a foundation registry by which verifiable, pedigreed & purebred Yorkshire Terriers, Biewer
Yorkshire Terrier and Tri-Color Yorkshires may be bred together to produce the Stripped/Banded Patterned Yorkies
through F1-F2 crosses and their linage documented for the purpose of receiving full recognition through ACR. It
should be noted that the Scottish Terrier, the Skye Terrier, the Dandie Dinmont, the Cairn Terrier, and the West
Highland White Terrier are all kissing cousins. All of these breeds share the same beginnings. It should also be
noted that as of to date all of the
Piebald/Stripped/Spotted/Banded bloodlines have been traced back to one kennel in
England including those of Biewer German lineage.
Reputable Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom pon breeders generally will not let their new puppies go to
their new homes until at least 10-12 weeks of age due to hypoglycemia problems (low sugar).Biewer
Yorkshire Terrier breeders should always give a "care of the puppy" info sheet to new owners explaining
how to take care of the puppies. Biewer Yorkshire Terrier breeders will also be willing to assist you in case
anything does arise. Also due to the large amount of scammers on the internet, you should always ask for
at least 4-5 references and the breeder's veterinarian to check them out to see if they are legitimate. Ask
them to send additional pictures of the specific Biewer puppy so you know that they have the pup in their
possession. Be careful and do your homework before choosing the right Biewer Yorkshire Terrier breeder.
