| Biewer Breeders that do health testing I'm interested in finding a female biewer pup or adult as a pet. Preferabley not over 5lbs. Can anyone suggests reputable breeders that health test the parents and have dogs with excellent temperaments. Price is a big issue. I live in MN. Thank you. |

| I meant to say price is NOT a big issue. I know they are very, very pricey and that's okay. Thank you. |

| Yes. I have two young male pet Chinese Cresteds and think adding a female would be best. We lost our 11 yr old female CC this fall. She was a rescue and we'd had her since she was a baby taken from a puppymill. I know it's much easier to find a male. I'm not in a great big hurry and since we spent $10,000 trying to save my girl that passed of cancer, spending $4000+ for a girl isn't a big deal to us. We have no kids and our dogs are everything to us. Mari |

| I understand...we did the same for our Yorkie, Boog. Our first Biewer litter is due this week but I don't know what she will have or what their adult size will be. Good luck in your search...I hope you find the perfect little girl you're looking for. |

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I have an 8 month old Biewer female puppy that is 3# (just). She is potty pad trained and also goes outside. I have her information listed in the for sale section. She will be spayed before being placed. Contact me at Dee@houseofwags.com if you would like additional information. |

| Hi Mari Glad to see you made it to the forum...this is a great place to start your search. I'm only sorry we don't have the perfect little girl available for you right now. We met Mari and her husband this weekend at the show in Minnesota and she comes with excellent references from other breeders at the show. If anyone would like to PM me feel free, she seems like a lovely lady and she lives right down the road! Most of the breeders will have screened their adults before they ever think of breeding them. They will have patellas certified and done Bile acid testing.. some also do liver function on the pups prior to placement as well as the vet checks and the health guarantee. There are some wonderful Biewer breeders here, it may take a bit of patients to find just the perfect fit but it will sooo be worth the wait. My advice is to read all you can on the breed, find some lines you like, talk to some breeders and wait.. that perfect little girl will eventually pop her pretty little head up in search of her new mommy. Best of Luck in your search.. I'll keep my eyes open. -Diana

| Thanks, Diana! I've decided to slow down and try to learn more before I decide if this is the right breed for us. We have to be right for her, too. I'm in love with their stunning looks, but want to make sure I learn as much as I can about the breed before I make a firm decision about it. I'm not in a hurry. Your dogs are so beautiful and how nice that your pet owners come to support you at shows and to talk Biewers with folks. Mari |

| Good Decision Mari.. couldn't agree with you more. This is a decision that takes alot of research, especially when it involves looking into a breed that is somewhat "new". The more you know, the more you know you DON'T know.. if you follow me. As you can see by visiting websites and talking with different breeders and seeing different dogs at the shows, there is a wide variety of Biewers available. Just like many other breeds, just because it's called a Biewer, doesn't mean it's of consistant quality. There are people who sell just about anything for breeding because they can, even though the dog itself is not of breeding quality. Of course, I'm biased but the Biewer Breed is the most charming, loving, carefree, happy go lucky little breed I've come across and I hope to be fortunate enough to always have one or two (or three or four) as part of my life forever.. I hope that after you've done your research, you find that it's the perfect fit for your family too and eventually, you do get that dear little girl that you desire. If not, I'm sure what ever breed you do choose, she will have a wonderful joyful life in your home as part of your family with her two CC brothers. -Diana

| I asked these questions on another forum, but want to get as much feedback as I can. Since I have no contact with Biewrers and have only "seen" them, I have lots of concerns about adding one to our family. 1) Are they picky eaters? Can you get them on a routine of scheduled meals with a premium kibbles like Innova, Solid Gold, etc? What do most people feed? 2) Are they barky? We travel back and forth from our home to a Chicago condo where nuisance barking would be unacceptable to our neighbors. While I know a lot of this will be training, but is the terrier in them prone to barking? 3) Can you housetrain them to outside only - no pee pads or at least not as a primary housetraining option? I do have a covered potty area that is free from snow/rain, but is still cold in winter. I could also do a PetLoo system in my heated garage if necessary. Thank you very, very much for any feedback. As a potential pet owner, I want to make a really well informed decision. |
