Wow, never, ever has it been printed that Mr. Biewer was enhancing his "color lines" with other breeds. Even the BTCA who is the one trying to convience everyone that there is a new breed in the Biewers, have ever said it was Mr. Biewer. IN fact that is one of the mysteries, what is the other breed and who did the introduction in all of the Biewers in Germany or was it done once these dogs hit the US. I don't doubt there were some breeders in Germany that made designer dogs but that was not the norm. |
As I stated earlier, I am not an expert and probably should not have injected my thoughts as to where the other breeds in the Biewer came from. The Biewer is still a mystery and because so many have come to love and have a passion for this beautiful dog, many in the BTCA, they have become an advocate for the breed and have done and are continuing to do extensive genetic studies. There is so much controvercy and strong opionions out there over the Biewer.(Speaking in General)... Have you ever put your hands on a Biewer? Spent time holding one, watching them, getting to know them? I went to a dog show last weekend and spent 2 days with the Biewers and their owners and it was awesome. These breeders were awsome, they are so very proud of their Biewers and from what I seen have every right to be and I thank all of them who took the time with me. If we are going to produce these dogs we owe it to them and our potential puppy parents to find out everything we possibly can about them. They are a diamond in the rough and if we want them to thrive, we need to the the polishing and do it right. The Biewer is a learning process.
