Biewer yorkies weren't yorkies that were mixed with another breed to achieve the look they have. As any yorkie lover knows, you can end up with "red yorkies" (Like Julz's baby Mercedes) chocolate yorkies (I believe Rini has a chocolate), parti yorkies with lighter or white markings, etc. Yorkies with the biewer markings were bred to continue to achieve this look. As Rini mention, a German couple, Mr. and Mrs. Biewer, worked hard to consistently acheive this look. This is like choosing a dam and a sire to breed to acheive a certain "look" like a small, baby-doll face. Whereas the variations in color were once looked down upon, this specific variation was embraced. Again- correct me if I'm wrong, but Biewers aren't accepted by AKC only because of a technicality- I think foreign registry, not because of "unacceptable" colors. They have the same colors as some parti yorkies that are AKC registered.
I once spoke to a Biewer breeder who said that Biewers are on the larger side of the yorkie size range because the Germans haven't bred for the smaller yorkies like many American yorkie breeders have. |
This is what I think too. I was talking to the breeder we got Mickey from today. and she thinks im crazy she told me I was wrong wrong wrong that there is no way these dogs are Yorkies . Yorkies only come in the reg colors and that all others are mixed. I tried to tell her different but she told me Black/tan Blue /gold are the standard colors and there are no others period. she was kind of making me mad so I let it go at that.
