Isnt it funny how in the Biewers, that in the same litter of puppies they can be registered differently. The tri color pups are registered as a biewer and the traditional colors are registered as yorkshire terriers. They both have the same parents and were born in the same litter, so now tell me how they can be separate breeds???
The parti and the biewer are yorkies, the color on their head turns tan/ gold as they get older just as the yorkie does. Now as to how light or dark the tan/gold is, well thats breeding. Alot of show people dye their yorkies in order to have that perfect color.
There are bad breeders in every breed of dog.
There are yorkies that don't look like yorkies posted all over puppy find, actually its the same in any breed.
This is a Biewer in the first picture, does he look like the dogs in the 2nd photo of Mr Biewer with his dogs.
The 3rd photo is a Biewer and the last photo is Parti yorkies.
Wonder which ones look more like Mr Biewers dogs. |
I have to admit, it is difficult researching EITHER Biewer or Partis as there is such disagreement among those breeding them. For Parti's it seems that "anything goes" as long as the dog has white on it. That does not seem like very selective. Your examples are better than the ones I came up with on using the first 3 Partis to come up on search, but they still emphasize what is happening! Too far from Yorkie look & no consistency. You are right that many of those breeding yorkies, should not be breeding the ones they are either -- more selectivity is needed all the way around.
I appreciate the links, information and opinions you have provided in a most professional manner. Hope your Christmas was full of love, laughter & family! We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves here and I am a bit on the exhausted side but a good exhausted.
