It is her opinion, Nancy. Most def is not a fact, which she herself quite often admonishes people about.
The below statements are also
her opinion and opinion only, not fact:

We really don't care what standard they use, we just don't like them misleading the public. All we ask is that they tell the truth when educating the public and to state their opinions as such.
The BBCA believes in breeding Biewer to Biewer since it's inception, yet bought a bunch of dogs from Splitters. They feel the Biewer is a Yorkshire Terrier with 3 colors, so no different than what the Parti Yorkie breeders claim.
The BYTNC/BAPP??? breeds Yokies and Biewers which is no more than breeding designer dogs. Sue Williams posted the Mars test results of one of her mix breed dogs, which proved that they are breeding all the Biewer out of the dogs and now have Parti colored Yorkies.
Both of these clubs have changed the name of the dog, yet jump down our throat and say that we changed the name. What makes their change better than ours? One big difference is, Mrs. Biewer approves of our change. |

What we do have is the co-originator of the breed that has joined the BTCA and approved the standard that they have put together. Wouldn't you agree that in any business or relationship, if one partner dies, the person living becomes the sole authority? You can see our standard at Biewer Terrier Standard which was revised by Biewer breeders and approved by Mrs. Biewer. The other clubs standard was written by 2 MiKi breeders and never approved by anyone.
Which standard do you think is more appropriate?
The IABCA is under the authority of the UCI, the same club in Germany that the BTCA is a member of and has chosen to represent the Biewer in America. |
