The "standard signed by Mrs. Biewer" is something I see brought up quite a bit, yet I don't understand how it adds to anyone's credibility?
"ALMOST identical?" If is is not identical to the one the Biewer Terrier advocates are using, why does it matter? That would make it incorrect per BTCA standards, correct? Essentially nothing more than an outdated standard? Why would you expect any organization to be using an outdated standard?
The Biewers proclaimed that their dogs were of YT decent, correct? I'm assuming that the standard Mrs. Biewer wrote was not for a dog referred to as a Biewer Terrier that is composed of multiple breeders, as the claim goes, but for the dogs she helped to introduce that were 'pure Yorkie?' Or was she lying/incorrect about what they introduced?
Does she support the breeding of Biewer Terriers and the claim that they are not pure Yorkie?
I guess in short is, why would anything written and signed, by Mrs. Biewer, a founder of the "breed" grant any credibility to an organization not promoting what the breed founders introduced?
