They are not very commom here in South Africa and the ones I found when looking for one carried a HUGE price tag that i could never in a million years afford! But in a thread the other day someone was VERY insistent that a Parti Yorkie and a Biewer Yorkie are NOT the same thing.
Im interested now, I think i will add another thread about this! |
I will defer the answer to this to those that really know. As a "shot in the dark", the Biewers were developed by a Mr. Biewer in Germany. They breed true with white, black and tan colors. Their tails aren't docked (I think us North Americans are the only barbarians still left in the world
), and I believe they're a little larger (per standard) than a Yorkie. Also, because they're a "new" breed, the AKC does not yet accept them into shows, so they have to "do their own thing", if you know what I mean.
A Parti Yorkie, on the other hand, is a "sport". It's not common, although you can breed a Parti to a Parti (or Parti carrier) and get white, black and tan colors, too - just like the Biewers look. Mostly though, you won't get the uniform color distribution from a Parti Yorkie that you will get from a Biewer.
Now here's the kicker: a Parti Yorkie is still a Yorkie and can have AKC registry, but it can't be shown - it's not an "acceptable" color. However, they will generally cost more, even though they're out of "standard".
It's all *very* confusing
