| Yorkie vs. Biewer....looking for opinions.... Trying to make a very tough decision here and I would welcome any and all opinions, observations....basically anything to help me. I'm adding to our family of two....Phoebi, my yorkie is 6 and Chandler, my maltese is 5. My original choice was and still could be another yorkie girl until I came across a beautiful baby girl Biewer. I'm looking for any and all differences between the two, besides the obvious! I also should mention this will be a "pet home" and this baby will be spayed so the Registry is of no interest to me. I am confident in that fact that her breeder did all the necessary testing before breeding and went above and beyond to make sure this litter was healthy and sound. That being said, she could be registered at "Walmart" for all I care.... So.....HELP!!!! (please)

| It's really a personal decision. I think either would be fine. I have a standard Yorkie female and a Yorkie that has a standard father and Biewer mother (so she's half and half) and I also own a male Maltese. I would LOVE to own a full Biewer. I think they are absolutely gorgeous animals and if I could have a fourth dog (which I am FORBIDDEN to do) it would be a Biewer. If you are confident with the breeder and you can afford one, I would get the Biewer. Good luck in your decision!

| i'd say go with the biewer. you're still getting a yorkie girl, just one that's a little different. plus, you already have a regular yorkie, even if he's a boy. if it matters, more people will probably want to see her, and you'll have to answer lots of question and stuff about her(not sure this is good lol)

| What a great question. I own 8 rescue Yorkies and 1 Biewer "Little Man" and I do see a difference in the 2 personalities of my crew. My Little Man is much more of a clown and wants to just play with everyone. He will share anything and I have never heard him growl but at night when he thinks the bogey man is after man. I have been in a room with over 10 Biewers and they were all like this with no fighting what so ever. I was surprised to see 3 showdog males getting along so great. They seem to really enjoy people and other pets. Something I cannot always say about Yorkies - they seem to be a little more aggressive at times (geez my little 4# would go after anything it seems ) I love each personality of my dogs but the Biewers just seem to be a little more mello and easy going. Hope this helps you in your decision.

| My Aunt Margaret just got a 5 month old Biewer male. She says he is such a doll! He loves to give kisses and is very calm. He's getting along well with Isabelle her Yorkie. I say go with a Biewer if you can afford it!

| Thanks for the replies.....I've heard that they are more "mellow" and alot more "snuggly" in general. Of course every dog is different. Anyone with any health issues?

| Yorkies Are The Best. I never had the opportunity to see a biewer. I only saw pictures in Y.T. I know they are more expensive because they are different. But personally I love regular yorkies. The colour of their hair is amazing and so special (silver and gold, tan and gold...). Black and white is common. Sorry for biewer owners, they have the same cute face than yorkies but I dont like the color. It's matter of taste. |

| I'd go for the Biewer, but if I bought another dog I'd be sleeping outside.

| If I could afford a Biewer, you bet I'd jump at that! They are so gorgeous I think that a Biewer girl would be especially cool with your family, she'd make a wonderful addition in color with the white Maltese and the lovely Yorkie blue and gold. I'm so excited for you!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | Girl - what a choice - you PO thang life is so hard sometimes I happen to love the classic Yorkie ...but then again if you were to get a gorgeous little Biewer with that same look in the face as our yorkies have then I say go for it - there's just something about Yorkies I just love - but I wouldn't say no to a Biewer either - then again - with the dogs you already have a Biewer would be a nice addition - BUT - a yorkie may be a better playmate for Phoebie - at the same time - she may be jealous of a yorkie so maybe a Biewer is a better choice DIDJA GET ALL THAT ??? now.... what did I just say ????? |
