I was wondering this myself 6 years ago when I started to look into these parti yorkies being a Yorkie breeder myself. I am very protective of my lines and for my own sake had both parents DNA'd. After researching as much as I could about the parti yorkies, that is how I stumbled upon the Biewers. Research after research and talking to many breeders both Biewer and parti, I got a better understanding of what was going on. The Biewer caught my eye because of the standard they were holding true too. I am not downing the parti's but I wanted to concentrate on a new breed that would hold more true to a standard you could work with. And I liked the fact that both parents going out into 4 and 5th generation now are both DNA tested. This helps when you want to perfect a new breed and don't need to prove to anyone who the true parents are.
