A tri-colored yorkie has no standard, a biewer does and when you see a Biewer, you know it is a Biewer!
The dispute with the standards amongst the clubs is just basically that, a dispute. However, I bet they know they own Biewers and not a tri-colored Yorkie. |
Yes it is confusing and I'm not sure if your speaking of a "parti-yorkie" when you refer to a tri-colored yorkie or not... but I breed Biewers (NOT Biewer Terriers) they are a variation of a yorkie that is tri colored. They originated in Germany. On the pedigrees, they are called a Biewer Yorkshire ala Pom Pon. In Germany, when I purchased the dogs, they were considered a variant of the Yorkshire Terrier. This was in 2006, just a few short years ago. It was only when they came to this country and some groups decided they wanted to get these beautiful creatures into the AKC did the NEED for them to become something OTHER than what they are develop. Now, magically, they are something else...poof!
If you care to look at my website, feel free to do so.. I'm sure when you see the sires and dams on there, you will have NO question as to the breed of these dogs.
I believe, the parti yorkie does not have a standard at the present time where the Biewer does.. actually, we seem to get a new one all the time ...
