It seems that their is controvery over the partis as they are not accepted by the Yorkshire Terrier people, as are the Biewers.
The Biewer community also has its disagreements. I think it is unfair to say it is over the standard that Mrs. Biewer signed last Fall, as even before that time there was bickering. There is three main clubs and each thinks they have the correct standard and rules for their club. Each has their own US registry. Each has their own standard for registration and club memebership. Some believe in registering in Germany, some do not, some allow Yorkie breedings, some do not, some test their dogs, some do not.
When a person is looking for a Biewer, I have always told them to look at all three registries and find one that fits their needs and beliefs. Unfortunately until the Biewers are accepted by FSS or AKC there will be people that disagree. I really don't think that even this will get everyone on the same page. I am sure there will be those that poo-poo AKC and still go on their own. |
