Since I have puppies that are Biewer and others that are a combo of parti and Biewers, I have the chance to watch both grow and they look the same. In every Biewer litter there are many patterns and yet they are called Biewers..
Any help appreciated...[/QUOTE]

And here is lies the problem and nemesis of every responsible pure bred dog breeder. Are those who will deviate from the to gain what “they want”, not what the breed standard calls for.
Certainly it sounds like the “betterment of the breed” is not being taken into consideration.
From my understanding,unless you are breeding true Biewer to true Biewer, what you are getting is MIXED breeds that cannot be registered, period. [in a Registry of any merrit anyway]
just because a yorkie has 3 colors it is not make it a Biewer. Or because it's brown is it rare, badly bred anomoly yes, rare no.
We are all capable of putting two dogs together and come up with a cute MUTT, but a mutt by any other name is still a mutt. It’s the hard work, study, blood sweat and tears, and mostly the patience that goes hand in hand with PROPER BREEDING that counts. Nothing in the proper breeding ethic comes easily or fast. And badly bred color anomolies should not be bred.
Nothing will kill the process of a new breed faster than deviation from a standard, nor will it gain any influence with responsible breeders, it will simply be shunned unless it is taken very seriously.
Sorry if this seems like flaming, not my intention.
