There are many, many threads on YT about the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier if you want to research as much as you can. Here is another website to review: index

Biewers originated from Germany (True) and are mixed with other breed/s (only one club at this time believes that and there is not at this time a test that is 100% accurate in determining this information), while parti's are a result of a recessive gene that resides in Yorkie DNA (so do most Biewer breeders and in fact both the Parti's and the Biewers came out of the same kennel in England). They look similar from afar but Biewers have a set standard in color markings, which can be easily found if you look it up on google. Biewers cannot be registered with the AKC, whereas parti Yorkies can as they are Yorkies. Biewers are several pounds bigger on average and stockier (Not True). Many say they that Shih Tzu's were mixed into their lineage (no one knows for sure but I believe the original Biewers were from two Yorkshire Terriers). In fact some poor excuses for breeders did mix in Shih Tzu but again they would be like designer dogs of today.

Politics are alive and well in the dog breeder world and you will see it very much in the Parti's and the Biewers and the YTCA/AKC.
