The Biewer Terrier will more than likely not develop the deafness and blindness traits because they are geneticly different from the Partis. |
This may sound dumb, but is that one reason why the Biewer should have a colored face? I thought I read that somewhere about breeding for color on the face lessens the chance of deafness. Or does the Biewer not have the piebald/parti gene?
