All Biewers are parti colored yorkshire terriers, but not all partis are Biewers. Sort of like all squares are rectangles but not all rectangles are not squares
There is an additional set of criteria to be a Biewer.
Lets look at it this way. if you were showing a Biewer, would it be shown against other yorkies, or only against Biewers? |
I'd like an answer to this question.
There is way more to it than whether or not you BELIEVE that the biewers are a separate breed. And it is not the same as breeding a registered to a non registered. An unregistered yorkie, has registered ancestors somewere down the line.
The Biewer was developed into a separatre breed and have their own clubs and their own standards. They are not recognized by the AKC as yorkies.
Although genetically they are the same.
To the OP. As you can see this is a very complicated subject. The Biewer people do not even all agree on what they are so it is difficult to explain.
I suggest that you do your own research and draw your own conclusions.
