As I read the standards and info about Biewers, they have always been called BiewerYorkshire Terriers. Standard color Yorkies are Yorkshire Terriers. Purebred parti-marked Yorkies are called Yorkshire Terriers. Therefore, the reasoning would be that a Yorkshire Terrier by any color, if purebred! is a Yorkshire Terrier and cannot be considered a MIXED breed as the example you used of Yorkie/Poodle mixes. That example is like comparing apples and oranges, IMO..
What we are discussing, I think, is NOT genes but simply bloodlines. Any other opinions out there??
And, I am somewhat confused about the post from Catalan..was this supposed to be a post on YT or a letter to Irene? Just wondering about this one since it was number 1 or 2 post..
I will take the time to re-read the history of the development of the Biewer by the Biewers. I was under the impression that their breed stock was strictly Yorkshire Terriers in-bred or line-bred to assure that the recessive piebald gene would influence the colors of black, white and tan. Is that not correct?
Okay, now I will start my search to find out what breed Fru Fru and Darling of Friedhech were...and how I can research to make sure that my 3 Biewers are indeed as they are registered or if I and many others have been duped by German breeders who breed and sell their dogs as Biewers. If they cannot relate them back to FruFru and Darling, then they surely cannot be true Biewers as the standards say.
I do not plan to call my puppies Biewers. There is no reason to do that since they are going to pet homes and will not be bred..When I was considering buying Harvey, there was no doubt he was/is Biewer. He is the brother to Harmony and Hope, I believe.
