Any help appreciated... |
Rini,
Mr Biewer developed a standard in the Biewer which is what Theresa has explained. To start a new breed it needs to have a standard and every thing produced from that breed should produce the markings and characteristics described in the standard. So if you breed true Biewer to true Biewer you should get the markings listed in the standard, not traditional colored yorkies or mismatched patterns. Also, when you read the history of the Biewer, the intention Mr Biewer had was to create a separate breed. I prefer to just call them Biewers to avoid confusion.
When comparing pics of my Biewers to your Avatar, I see a destinct difference in Biewers and Partis; coat texture and color.
