My personal opinion remains IF there was any other breed added...it happened at Streamglen. This is the single kennel that can be traced back in the pedigrees of both biewers and the parti yorkie. That is the common denominator. The paths Mr. Biewer took with his program and the parti breeders was different.
He breed selectively for 5 years before entering his dogs in the show ring. At this point there wouldn't have been a "need" to add another breed...his already carried the piebald gene.
The man passed away in 1997. His wife dispersed the dogs and I'm not surprised that records may have been given away or destroyed. |
I'm sorry if this sounds sarcastic, but I just don't know any other way to ask it so here goes.
As to the Streamglen connection:
It seems so very odd that one kennel could get dogs from Streamglen and wind up with partis (random patterned) and another could get dogs from Streamglen and get belted patterned partis (Biewer). What are the odds of that, especially with the Biewer? On its face, it stretches the bounds of credibility. Something was obviously 'up' somewhere, which brings the dogs' heritage into question.
As to the Biewer records, I would be very surprised that the records from someone that developed a new breed would be given away or destroyed. If they were given away, they should have surfaced by now, given the recent popularity of the dogs. Frau Biewer should certainly know where they are, as she would have been the one to give them away and she hasn't stated that they were destroyed. It seems a little too convenient. As an outsider looking in, the Biewer story reads like an urban myth.
