The female in the middle to the right when you look at the photo is my Cleopatra. She CAME from Germany with her Weltshconheits Champoninship, (she has since completed her bronze in the States.) Also 6 best in shows. In Germany, the standard is the tri colored head. I don't believe that the country of origin would misread their standard or not understand its content. It would seem to me that they considered the white she displays as correct.

I've been to a show in Germany and know exactly how they are run, just like the shows here, everybody pays their dues and gets their title. The same dogs that have poor coats and roach backs are getting their titles right along with everyone else.
The standard written by Mr. Biewer was White, Blue and Gold. I don't see the word black in that, but some have accepted the standard that was written Donna and Christine, NOT Mr. Biewer, and why?
What I don't understand is the how the bbci standard and name are not considered changed.
Mr. and Mrs. Biewer ~ Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon BBCI ~ Biewer a la Pom Pon.
Mr. and Mrs. Biewer's standard ~ that of a Yorkshire Terrier except the coloring, White, Blue and Gold BBCI standard ~ Rather white or blue-white broken or closely blue absolute, or black, without brown coloring. Hair on breast, pure white on the belly, and the legs. The head with White-blue-Gold, symmetrically colored.
You don't see the difference??
This standard issue is a ridiculous battle. There are very few dogs that even fit the standard the Biewer's wrote. How many dogs have a square body, and pure silk hair? Most people desire the black not the blue, so are we to quit breeding all our dogs with black.
How many people are putting dogs in the show ring that have color coming down the legs and getting their titles? How many roached back dogs are getting their titles?
