The history can be found all over the internet or here's a link if you would like to learn more Biewer History
The pie bald gene is considered a recessive gene and not a mutation.
BBCA members do dna all their breeding pairs and the resulting puppies.
In my opinion the pedigree for a dog/puppy has to go back to the original pair of dogs on both sides or it is not a biewer. |
Do all of the registries that recognize the Biewers have the same standard and classification?
What are BBCA? BBIA?
As for DNA, I am aware that its use is limited since our existing breeds predate DNA, however, to provide scientific data about the lineage and heritage of our dogs, aren't most registries, clubs, etc encouraging DNA documenting to add a degree of validity and accountability to our pedigrees? Not just Yorkies...
