These are supposed to be exciting times as the Biewer Terrier establishes itself in the US as its own separate breed, apart from the Yorkie but instead we are constantly bickering about a name. It cannot be stressed enough that as long as some insist on calling it a Yorkie it will never be accepted by the AKC. No matter what anyone says it is the ultimate goal of dog breeders that introduce a new breed to one day be recognized by the major kennel clubs.[/QUOTE]
As mentioned previously I have always felt the Biewer was and is a seperate breed.However, as also previously mentioned for the past few years.... breeders did and continue to breed back to a Yorkshire Terrier. This is not how you establish a breed!
When the data is available to be reviewed by a group of peers( of animal husbandry)ie; Other canine genetisist , can be substantiated. I'm sure everyone will be very excited.
