Also, curious as to how AKC could allow Biewers to show? If they are considered Yorkshire terriers, as parti color yorkies are, I don't see how AKC can accept the Biewers as a different breed, even if an approved German registry accepts them.
I think the Biewer and Parti Yorkies are a unique situation for AKC, and personally don't see how AKC, the Biewer and Parti breeders can come to an agreement that will make everyone happy.....it's a shame. |
There is one standard for the cotons. The coton is in AKC's FSS program...not an officially recognized breed. A parent club hasn't been appointed as the YTCA was appointed the parent club of yorkshire terriers.
Biewers are already being shown, granted not in AKC and it is as a breed of it's own.
There have been some AKC fun matches which allowed our dogs to enter also. No points are earned but it's good exposure for the breed.
