| Are Biewer's Rare? This is an ad I found on kijiji saying that the Biewer is rare and unique. is that true? If you love owning a smaller toy breed or the standard Yorkshire Terrier, but would like something more unique and new … then the Biewer is perfect for you. The Biewer is like a Yorkie, but with a white coat due to a recessive piebald gene mutation! They are rare and very stunning! We are here to breed some of the best puppies with the correct temperament, lush silky coats, a beautiful face and deep dark pigments. We have 2 little boys that are looking for very loving homes! The little girl is currently pending, but she might become available. Boys should be about 3.5 - 5 pounds full grown! All our dogs are registered with the original International Biewer Club (IBC) and our Biewers are imported from Germany, America and Hungary. We breed only gorgeous, happy and healthy pets to families who want quality pets. All our puppies come with starter care package and health guarantee!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Biewers were imported into the US in 2003 so they are quite new to the states. They are shown in rare dog breed shows. Someone showing could tell you what shows...although I know there is one this weekend in Orlando Florida. I have one and not that it says anything....but he's the first anyone in my vet's office has ever seen.

| I dont know if they are rare, but I have never looked for them to know either. The breeder I am getting my baby Bandit from in a week breeds them too. Just thought I'd throw that out there. |

| I guess you could say they are rare in the U.S. but they are becoming very popular. My Darby is the first one that had been seen in my vets office too. If you are interested in one; do your homework. Just like all popular breeds there are good breeders and bad ones. The Biewer itself is a wonderful, beautiful little dog that is just a clown under a fantastic coat. You will find good information on here, and also on Biewer Fanciers.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | The Biewers are rare in the numbers here in the U.S. They have only been in the US since about 2005. Right now the Biewers are shown with ARBA, NAKC, IABCA in the show rings. There is a show coming up in Southern California May 17 and 18th with ARBA. This weekend this is a show in Orlando, Fl. If you want to see Biewers, go to a show, meet a breeder, look at websites--mine will have new pictures tonite or tomorrow. If you're thinking of buying one, they are a wonderful addition to a home....they are lovable, funny, and personality all in a furry package. |

| And since Dee seems to be modest today, you should know that she breeds beautiful, healthy, well socialized Biewers, along with Kathy785, of Heaven Sent Biewers. I have a splitter (yorkie coloured Biewer) from Kathy and I'm counting down the minutes until Bailey (formerly known as Skippy) arrives tomorrow. If you're interested in Biewers I can't recommend either of these ladies highly enough! Tara |

| Biewers Yorkshires have only been in the states for 3 or 4 years. They are a rare breed in that they originated in Germany in 1984. They are a wonderful little breed. Happy, go lucky, comical, great great companions. Go to a show, meet some breeders and talk to them. Websites are wonderful, but they can be real fancy and not really tell you anything about who you are dealing with. Be careful with that. Get to know any breeder you are talking to. DO your research. Unfortunely there are a lot of GREEDERS out there, only into breeding these little beauties (or false representations of) for the dollar. But there are also some very caring, loving, breeders that care tremendously about this breed and where it is headed that have ONLY the true interest of their dogs at heart. You can find a lot online about the history of the breed, what is happening with the breed now, and their are various breed clubs with some different opinions. You read, you research, you will find and learn who is good to deal with and who is not.

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | Thanks Tara. There are new puppy pictures on the website for you and the others to enjoy. Mary Kay, I have an open invitation to anyone who wants to meet or see the biewers in person. Regardless of club affiliation or previous experience of breeders, I am open to visits, questions, and referaos. I am happy to review anyone's pedigrees or potential pedigrees to save folks from making a mistake like buying a puppy with LS in its pedigree. If you are thinking of a particular breeder go to all the websites, and ask about folks' experiences with that breed. PRIVATE forums are going to give you limited information--you're spending a lot of money on these dogs--REALLY do your research..... |

| The Biewers are shown under the "Rare Breed" category of different show venues.They are a unique breed that originated in Germany. If interested in the breed, join some forums. Meet and greet the people who are actively involved in preserving and protecting the breed. Attend a few show venue's and be selective when choosing your perfect forever pup. The Biewer Breed Club International has a Health Registry that can help you with information on obtaining a healthy puppy.This department of the BBCI is devoted exclusively to education and critical scientific research into the genetic, communicible and acuired diseases that involve our beloved Biewer Biewer_Health_Registry Jan

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | There are rare breed shows all over. Come out to a show and see them and talk to the breeders and owners. The next show in S. California is May 18 and May 19 at the Hotel Claremont at 9:30 am. Bring your sun tan lotion, a chair, lunch, and your camera and come for a fun time. American Rare Breed Association has the details. |

| Very well said Mary Kay and Jan! The Biewers are great dogs that make wonderful little pets. There aren't a lot of them here in the U.S., but the number is definitely growing. The best advice I can give is to research, ask lots of questions, and if at all possible, go to visit the breeder and see how the dogs / puppies are housed and cared for. There are a couple of Biewer forums where you can meet great people and learn about the breed. If you are interested, just PM me.

Bella Boo & Diggy Too! Donating GS Member | that article says 3.5-5 pounds.... I thought the standard was the same as the standard Yorkie just coat differs. So that would be 5-7 pounds right?

| Biewer I have one, an import. I suggest anyone interested in a Biewer, do your research very well and don't import one. There are excellant breeders in the USA but not all are great or honest, just as in the traditional Yorkie breed. There is a lot of rumbling among the different Biewer registry clubs, be careful. I would worry about the breeder's testing for Liver Shunt before buying a Biewer. Jessica |
