The Biewer Club has now backtracked and now call them Biewer Terriers not Biewer Yorkies. They are not currently recognized as a breed by the German Kennel Club nor the FCI under whose rules for shows most clubs in Europe compete for their titles, nor does the AKC or Canadian Kennel Club recognize these as a breed.
This page is from the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America website that will explain to you about colour. YTCA is the parent club for the Yorkshire Terrier. Yorkshire Terrier Club of America (Awards)
It is honestly so hard and confusing to keep up with what Biewers are or arent anymore. It seems like everyone states something different about if they came from yorkies or not and what their title is.
