Do this with two different breeding pairs and keep a puppy from each litter. Breed those two dogs together (they carry the chocolate gene and the parti gene) and you get a combination of 4 colors (black-tan, chocolate-tan, black-tan-parti, and chocolate-white-parti). Now, are they 4 different breeds??? Or just different colors? They are all littermates and all yorkies. Its just a matter of color genetics. |
The ACH-L is not the IBC. There are over 50 different German clubs that can register Biewer's. The Biro's were started from 2 breeders in Germany from the Biewers.
