2. I think the reference to not having things referenced off breeder sites was to keep sales pitches out of the equation-at least I hope that was the ideal...I see Debra also posted she'd lie this thread to be for references...I don't know about anyone else but I'm stoked on that-something besides someone saying so too see for yourself-really hard to sift through all the "junk" on the net to find something reliable, when you are on either side-in the middle or just trying to learn-I really get annoyed seeing so called authorities being quoted with their opinion though as a relevant fact...but at least I can see it for myself this way.
3. To the few who posted with confusion-don't feel bad. The first few times I saw Biewers I thought they were just Parti's that carried a name of a breeder because someone felt like naming "their" Partis after them-seeing the distinction between a Biewer and a Parti now is recognizable to me...but when you first see them and try to associate it can be very confusing. I'm still under the impression Biewers were created and that Parti's are a naturally occurring "fault" but a natural occurrence nevertheless due to the basics of genetics...now bred specifically for the natural occurring "fault" (recessive gene dominance).
4. I didn't know that knowing whom was who in the Yorkie world was a requirement of YT...I thought we all came here to share, learn, enjoy and socialize about Yorkies...of all kinds... |
The First Biewer(tri color yorkie) was born from 2 Champion traditional yorkies , which by the way has the very same ancestor in common from England and the Nikkos line of partis.
They are the same dogs. They both are yorkies.
You have YTCA members that own Biewers so they are spouting that they are a separate breed. Heaven forbid should they get caught owning a parti so they push and push the separate breed issue.
How can the Biewer suddenly morph into another breed when it derived from 2 yorkies and Mr Biewer bred back to the traditional color yorkies up until 1992. Some of his tricolors were registered with VDH/KFC as Yorkshire terriers.
The first Biewer/tri-color born to Mr Biewer was in 1984, Joan Gordon had one born in 1976, and she states that the tri color Yorkie was imported into Germany from England.
The first Biewer standard was that of a yorkie except for color and the Biewers tails were docked until Germany outlawed it.
Color does Not make a new breed.
