| Biewer or Parti? I have researched and can't seem to find a simple, straightforward answer. What is the difference between a Biewer and a Parti Yorkie? Is it possible to tell which it is just by looking or do you need to see the pedigree? I know that the Biewer has their tail, but what else? And most important (or not) how do you pronounce Biewer? I'd really appreciate any help.

| Biewer -> the w is pronounced as a V = Bea-va. I have a Yorkie and a Biewer. Two different dogs with two different personalities. |

| Biewer like Diva with a B.... A parti yorkie is a tri colored Yorkie (color variant). A Biewer is a different breed, like a Poodle or a Maltese are breeds different than Yorkies.

| This is some information about the Biewer and the history of the breed. Biewer Terrier, Biewer Yorkie Information and Pictures, Biewer Yorkies Might answer some of your questions |

| I'm not an expert but from what I've read here on YT Biewer Yorkshire terrier is just another way of saying Biewer as some believe this breed came from yorkies. An easy way to distinguish between a parti and a Biewer is the markings. The Biewer have their coloring in certain areas just like the Yorkie does. (They have a standard they follow) Parti yorkies are Tri colored and there is no standard of color placement. Does that make sense? I'm sure one of the links provided will have the Biewer standard and will show where the color markings belong on a Biewer.

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | The Biewer, named after the founder,originated in Germany in the mid 80's. Over the years they are selectively bred and a standard was set. The standard is similar to the Yorkie, but calls for specific color placement. White paws, tip of the tail, symetrical coloring on the head and face, etc and no docking of tail. It has been recognized as a separate breed by some organization and can be shown in some venues. Not in the AKC Partis are tri-colored Yorkies. They can be registered with but not shown in AKC. Can be shown in some other venues. There is no standard set for them that allows for the non-standard coloring, but typically, most Parti breeders follow the YT standard with color as the exception. Biewer info can be found here... Biewer Breed Club of America You can get more info on the Parti Yorkie here... Yorkshire Terrier - PARTI YORKSHIRE TERRIER CLUB

Donating YT 3000 Club Member | The little guy in my avatar is a Biewer. I love the way the look better Biewers keep their tails and Parti Yorkies are docked, as per standard. That is one way to tell the difference.

| Thank you all so much for the info! I think I understand now, and i will stop calling them "beavers"--I knew that couldn't be right!

| from what i have read from my research on the subject is that Biewer Yorkies were bred from yorkies in Germany and Parti yorkies were bred around the same time in the US from a different stock of yorkies. It is also not as common to dock tails in Europe which is probably why Biewers have their tails and parti's do not. And in my opinion we should stop docking tails all together, (1) I love long tails and (2) it just doesn't seem very nice to cut off a body part for looks. I consider my Somi a Biewer Yorkie, but she has a docked tail. But that could also be due to ignorant breeder not the actual breed of dog. I call it her little nubbin and try to grow the hair out so she looks like she has more of a tail, because her's is docked way too short.

| I have a question to add to this. If the Biewers were started from two yorkies that carried the piebald gene, doesn't that make them yorkies? I mean, they did selectively breed them and started their own club, but aren't they still yorkies?

| I recently purchased a Biewer female and she is the sweetest thing! She does not seem to be quite as neurotic as my yorkies can be. I love all 4 of them to pieces! |
