Germany is not now or has it ever tried to get FSS acceptance, so the name yorkshire is not taboo to the desired registry. The IBC only registers Biewers, so there are not the yorkie people to offend.
Sorry to the general YT population. The clubs did not get along before the whole taking the Yorkshire out of the name, and it doesn't look like it is going to change anytime soon. The name thing has only added fuel to the fire that was already there. I tell everyone that is looking into the Biewers to go to all three club sites and forums. They need to be completely comfortable with whatever club they decide to go with. |
Okay, this is my opinion and as I respect all others I hope you will respect mine.
All three clubs BBCI - BYTNC - BTCA has known for a very very long time that YTCA suggested to drop the name Yorkshire for the sake of having an opportunity to be recognized as a breed of it's own. Regardless of the Biewer's being originated from Yorkshires we need to move on.
I know many don't care if we are recognized by AKC, some will settle just showing in International Venues ect. others want to see this beautiful Breed in the AKC ring along with the toy group. Wouldn't that be exciting? Yes, we still have alot of work and not just ready, but one step at a time and we are working on many issues as we speak.
The original Standard set by Mr. Biewer states Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom pon.
YES, many peds and registrations include the word Terrier, how it got there no one knows! Mistake maybe? Look at the original standard that was set by Mr. Biewer and you will see it did not include Terrier.
Regardless of what it stated and what some of our peds say, I suggest again JMO!
They to be called Biewer a la Pom pon!
Drop the Yorkshire for the sake of complying with YTCA and drop the Terrier which some have an issue with and was never on the standard, though Yorkshire is but again let's move on.
Yorkshire will be there always, it's the Biewer's heritage and history. That is the way it will be written up history!
Let's look forward and keep it civil for the sake of this beautiful Breed The Biewer's!
