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. |
I'm blown away I thought Biewers and Parti's were different! My mind is so confused now! So they stereotypical black(ish) white and semi red (tan) toned Biewer is actually just a Parti at the extreme? So when people say Tri-colored they are talking about Biewers and Partis!?
I posted pics of the stereotypical Biewer first and the most commonly found example of a Parti-thus you can see the difference-was I the only one missing that whole part-WOW?
I thought the Biewer was a Parti the first time I saw one-then I thought they were different types of Yorkies now they're the same-my head is spinning here!
Good thing I'm reading this thread and learning! So breeding Parti to Biewer is a non-issue (what's this Biewer to Biewer only breeding claim ppl make then?) then because they are the same and both share a recessive gene which has been brought out purposefully-considered a "fault" gene or not...it was first attempted to be bred out and now attempted to be bred back in?
When the breeder whom bred one of my dogs explained to me she ended her Parti line and began breeding Biewers and that Elvis was purely the product of four generations of Parti to Parti directly showing his lineage to the (Nikko) line she was fudging it as Partis and Biewers are the same just somewhat divided now? Out of curiosity what is the division now?
And why is there a Poodle (schnauzer) looking (mix) dog in the pic of the Biewer's dogs? Yorkie guard dog?
