Some people only breed Biewer to Biewer. Some still integrate Yorkies (on rare occasions) back into the breed to add back into the color. When a Biewer is bred to a standard colored Yorkie, the litter is referred to as a 'splitter litter'--some may be standard colored, some may have the tri-Biewer coloring. A standard colored offspring is referred to as a 'splitter'--if bred to a standard Yorkie, will produce standard colored offspring, when bred to a Biewer, will create Biewer offspring. (But of course, the theory that the dogs are not the result of Yorkies afterall further complicates that, I suppose.) I *think* I got that right. |

Breeding a splitter to a biewer does NOT always result in biewer colored puppies. Now we're back to the pie bald gene discussion...this thread has come full circle.
The biewer only has the recessive gene to offer...a splitter has both the recessive and the dominant gene to offer. So you can get biewer colored AND standard coloring within the same litter.
