Basically...the Parti is a yorkie that is mostly white with some black and tan markings on the head and body and no standard as to where the colors must be placed. You dock the tail of a Parti and they are registerable with the AKC as a color variation of the Yorkie but can't be shown.
The Biewer originated in Germany, it is from 2 standard Yorkies but Mr. Biewer wrote a standard for the colors and where they should fall on the dog. The Biewer keeps it's tail and they are not recognized by the AKC...they are still registered in Germany or in one of the many American Biewer registries. The Biewer can be shown in several rare breed venues including IABCA, NAKC and ARBA.
