The German version of the AKC has different standards as far as developing new breeds, and they were able to start their own registered breed, calling them the biewer Yorkshire Terrier.
Now, at least one of the american Biewer clubs is trying to prove that the Biewers were not pure bred yorkies, that they had another breed mixed in. and the reason they are doing that is because the AKC standards for developing a new breed states that you can not just use a color variation of the original breed to develope a new breed.
But it is possible that some of the dogs that are being sold as Biewers today, did in deed have another breed mixed in, and are not from the original Biewer lines. |
