I have often wondered what was the difference between a Biewer Terrier and a Biewer other than in name and registry but it seems clearer now...it would appear that the Biewer must adhere to a stricter standard. |
Hallelujah!!!!!!!! You finally admit to changing the standard and the name. Now what makes your standard and name better than ours?
We realized that we have a separate breed aside from the Yorkie and clarified the standard after measuring and taking the results of over 100 dogs. I have ask people from the BBCI to measure there dogs and share their results with us and not one person has responded. Why??
One thing that you are right about and that is, as a Biewer Terrier we have a much stricter set of guide lines to go by, both in the show ring and breeding. We also are the only club that has Mrs. Biewer's approval and backing.
To answer Yorkiekist's question. Donna dabbled with the Biewer in 2003, and had one of the first documented L.S. cases in the States. After everyone found out that she was still breeding the sister to the dog, among other things, she faded out. Christine, the other Mi-Ki breeder is in Germany and never had anything to do with the Biewers.
Your confusion in this matter, is one that we have been trying to figure out ourselves. Do you see that they have changed the standard and the name, or is just me needing new glasses.
