Sorry when I used the word biased I meant it didn't seem biased. Probably every book and article out there is biased in some way, but Wikepedia seems like a fair site. I have no knowledge of the actual differences between the clubs, and reading about the differences gets weary, but the Wikipedia site does give links to several clubs where someone could do more research. If the link to your club isn't listed, you could request this. There is also a discussion feature where they are asking for more input. Many Yorkietalk members just want to know the very basics when asking a question such as what are the differences between a Yorkie and a Biewer. They are not yet interested in all the drama behind the scenes. I think if there were less drama some of the rest of us would like to learn more.

Couldn't you just answer the OP's question, and say something like, "actually there is much discussion on whether or not the yorkie and the biewer are two different breeds, there are some Biewer clubs that believe abc and some who believe xyz, and then state what you believe? Or just state what you believe. Giving us a definition on the word biased doesn't really seem to help.
