I join the other Biewers fanciers and breeders in saying that this is a sad incident in the history of this beautiful breed. I am just hoping that this event can spark some open discussions between breeders and fanciers as to how we can work collectively towards the betterment of the breed, begin to open up healthy, strong lines to eachother and act as an unified voice to promote the breed. OK, getting off my soapbox and removing my rose colored glasses
