I am sure if AKC accepts them, they will not be competing against the Yorkie (except in Toy Group). They are beautiful and I hope that AKC does accept them for show, but under their own name (Beiwer) and not Yorkshire Terrier. They are a special breed of dog, just as the Yorkshire is. I am probably not making my meaning understood, so I will stop here. Ricki |
Biewers are yorkies. The Akc standard for yorkies is 4-7 lb but yorkies that are larger or smaller are still yorkies. Theres also Chocolate and parti yorkies that dont fall into the AKC standard but they are still yorkies.
