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.

I find it interesting that the YTCA denies that these are purebred yorkies, yet they specifically address the issue of the parti color as being an off color.
They can't have it both ways.
They also claim that the off colors cause health issues. Which we all know that this is no more true with off colors than it is with traditional colors.
Therefore, since they insist on printing untruths on their site. IMO it discredits anything and everything they have to say. It might be true, but it also might not.
