Well.. In my opinion.. if you have a Biewer, you have a GOOD Biewer. They are a wonderful little dog and you should be very happy with yours.
This is such a simple thing but some want to make is sooo complicated.. Why I wonder???
The Biewer came from Two Yorkies.. The Biewer is a tri-colored Yorkie. ALL three of the active Biewer clubs in this country have the same foundation stock.. they all came from Germany, many from the same lines, many from the same litters.
When we bought these dogs, they were a tri-colored yorkie, a VARIANT of a yorkshire terrier. In Germany, Tri colored yorkies are registered as a Biewer.. if in the same litter, there are traditional colored Yorkie puppies (say if one parent was a yorkie, one a Biewer) those puppies are registered as Yorkies. So simple, much like you have a black cocker or a parti cocker or a ASCOB.
Somehow, when they crossed the waves, to some they became a different breed and it's only happened in the last few years.. presto!
Why?? Because to gain AKC acceptance, the Biewer can not come in as a variant of a yorkie.. the YTCA won't allow it! Sooo.. What to do
OOOH... make it a mix of 2 or three other dogs, call it something different, say it's something differnet ... then sneak in
The problem is that some of the people who have the SAME lines are saying.. wait a minute.. WE don't have mutts.. we have a purebred dog and so do YOU!
The dogs are the same dog.. they are NO different. If they are GOING to be a differnet breed, it has to be something that is being done to them now and moving forward.. nothing that was done previously. Some will say they are breeding only Biewer to Biewer so that makes them a different breed.. not sure if that flys or not.
