Biewers are not recognized by the AKC. They are a German breed with their own registry. So far as tinies - yes they are adorable and I wouldn't mind having one on the smaller size (3-4lbs)...NO smaller than 3..that is just TOO tiny to me. But I would never buy from someone who intentionally breeds tinies. If I was set on a tiny, I'd contact all the show breeders I was interested in and if they happen to have a tiny pop-up in one of their litters then great. As long as a tiny is from a reputable breeder and just happened to pop up, I'm okay with it...but I think it's wrong to purposely breed tiny dogs to get tiny puppies. But yes, the tiny ones definitely are adorable
