Hmm...every Biewer breed history page I have read claims the Biewer originated in a litter produced by two purebred yorkies. And they breed true when bred to yorkies of any color. IMO..it just feels untruthful to call them "cousins" when history and pedigree's prove they are yorkies.
When people ask me about my "beautiful colored yorkies"...I just tell them they are tri yorkies. If I try and tell them that one originated in Germany and the other in the USA...they get a puzzled look and say..."but they look like the same dog, except one has a tail". So tri colored yorkie works for me.
