Ricki,
I agree with you I wish they took out the word Yorkshire Terrier from the name. It can be misleading. I have 6 True Biewers (not mixes) as well as 6 Yorkies I consider them separate breeds even thought the Biewer origniated from the Traditional colored Yorkies. Biewers have a specific pattern that their markings must follow. If you have the TRUE Biewer you will these markings everytime. If you have mixes, the pups can be one extreme or the other all white little color or all black little white and tan/gold whatever..
I have researched the history of this breed extensively and learned very much from a wonderful mentor/friend of mine in Germany. I am proudly a member of the IBC AKA International Biewer Club in Germany. My reason to start a program of Biewers is the same as why you breed Yorkies, because I was fortunate to find WONDERFUL examples of the breed and have been trusted to breed them and help with producing the True Biewer.
I have plans to show my Yorkies. I have produced my first Show Prospect and I have a wonderful mentor/friend who is ever so helpful in helping me achieve my goal to get my ShoPo in the ring
My concern is that it will be held against me because I breed Biewers. I hope that's not the case. I want to win or lose based on what I have in the ring not and nothing else.
I've visted your website Ricki, I love your Yorkies.
When I get home I'll post a pic of a excellent example of a true Biewer.
Yorkie hugs,
Irene
