and that's ok! I welcome anything! Please PM me if you have a chance as well, I'd love any info I can get!! Thanks!!

I say get one of each

I say get a parti and learn qhat all the hullaballoo is about. LOL.

The Biewrs have standards, so it's looks and size might be more predictable. I'm have no idea what percentage of Biewer puppies meet the color standard.

But the partis are just getting started and you could get in on the beginning.

They are all beautiful. just look at those gorgeous babies in my avatar.

I voted for the Biewer...but, of course, I'm a little biased in my opinion!

Since I am going to assume (I know bad on my part) that you are going to breed the Biewer or the Parti I don't think you are ready to get either dog until you fully understand both of their history. There is tons of information out on the internet on these dogs and I would not just get your information here. You need to be fully aware of the history, the lineage and the health issues that surround these dogs. When a new breed/color variation is first introduced you need to understand these dogs are very line/inline bred and you must understand who you can breed them to down the road as there is not a large gene pool on either breed/color variation. Each of these dogs have pro's/con's and it is not just based on how beautiful these dogs are. I don't have a clue how many Parti's are in the US but I am guessing there might only be a little over 300 Biewers here in the US and most of all of them are related only 3 generations back. Genetics will play a large role in your breeding program and you will have to be prepared to go long distances to find someone to breed with that does not have the same lineage.

I cannot speak about the Parti but from a Biewer standpoint to many people are breeding these dogs without understanding how to read a pedigree and realizing how closely related many of these dogs are. They are not like a Yorkie with a much larger gene pool.

I wish you luck but please go into this fully armed with all the information you can find.

I would love one too. But don't know which either! I voted for Biewer but I'm just not sure. It will be interesting to see what others say. Either way, wouldn't you need to have two in order to breed them? Either two parti carriers or two biewers? But the parti's would create regular colored yorkies as well? I think it's all very interesting.

I am told, most are breeding AKC Parti's with standards and that upsets the Yorkie world..but Biewer people perfer to breed Biewer to Biewer (I think)..I realize I am far from being an expert on this subject..but I like the fact the Biewer is not AKC..and Biewer breeders are not pushing for it.

Here are the facts...if you want to show standards at some point, join clubs, accquire breeding/ show potentials and stud service from breeders, you will get neither. If you do not care, pick either...

I have a Biewer..I do not breed myself..might show the new puppy, but I am not "courting" the Yorkie world and do as I please, as long as I think it ethical..I can not be kept from any of my goals because of owning a Biewer...if you can, I would go slow and think it out carefully.
