We can certainly agree on not allowing to breed back to the Yorkshire Terrier. This is one of the main reasons I joined the BBCI (former NBCA). Since the clubs inception they have
never allowed members to breed back to the yorkshire terrier.They have always seen the Biewer as a Breed of its own, therefor having a strict breeder order ( no mixing)
Some call them splitters.. some call them F1's,But
.. mixed breeding is what I call it
I't upsetting to see that many breeders are continuing to breed back to the yorkshire terrier,I have visited far too many breeders websites who are still selling and advertising splitters.
And sadly puppyfind is overloaded with them.
I can only hope that in the future, people will spay and neuter before placing Biewers.

One club has done research on 100 Biewers and it has been concluded by genetists that the Biewers are not purebred yorkies, even thought the main "ingredient" is yorkie. Also the YTCA has made it clear that the Biewers will never be accepted into AKC with the word Yorkshire attached to their name. So this club has shortened the name to Biewer Terrier. They are purebred Biewer Terriers, not purebred Yorkshire Terriers. Because of this the breeding back to standard Yorkshires needs to quit. If the Biewers were purebred Yorkies then it would be okay to breed to a yorkie. We don't breed the Yorkies back to the Manchester Terriers (or any of the other breeds that developed it), So if we want the Biewers to be purebred, then we need to do the same. They need their own name for their own separate identity. |
