Not sure who wrote this, but makes perfect sense.

The Biewer is a result of a recessive piebald gene found in the Yorkshire terrier...the breed developed in the 1980's.Mr.Biewer spent five years selectively breeding before he developed the line and established the true breed. So this is many years of breeding(still pretty new).The breed is accepted and showed in Germany as their own breed and many other countries.

The term parti when it comes to a yorkie is a term that I would be leery of. Though I feel that the Biewer started out a bit back yard breeder-ish. They are now a full on club and most of the breeders connected with the breed are doing the right things as far as health testing. They are continuing to research and study the genetic makeup of the Biewer. The Biewer now has so many generations that its no longer just two yorkies put together that have the recessive piebald gene.

I can see how some yorkies have the recessive piebald gene and these breeders call them parti-yorkies but they aren’t exactly Biewers.
byb jack up the price of a parti-yorkie because they are trying to make them new and rare...and people will pay that much for something different. But it’s a scam...there was a problem a few years ago with all gold yorkies, its all just a scam.These people aren’t geneticist just breeder who have faults in their lines.

I believe the Biewer has a weight limit of 8 or 7 lbs.

I recommend a Yorkshire terrier. But If you want a Biewer go through the Biewer terrier club of america and find a breeder...make sure they test and provide a DNA test so you know your getting a Biewer and not just a yorkie with the recessive gene.Stay away from those who advertise Parti Yorkies

ADD:::No dog breed we have today came out of alchemy people!! breeds evolved over the years and some breeds have seperated....NORFOLK AND NORWICH TERRIERS hello!!! they were considered one breed at one point and because of the pricked ears were separated...What is the difference really?Who decided to do that or only decided to breed ears down??…so were they byb's ?and considered scam artists becasue some ears were up and some were not and one had a preference??

and America and the AKC isnt the end all to what is expectable in this world,each country is different....the Biewer is excepted in many countries and they are shown and titled...I personally am not a fan of the Biewer but If you buy respnsibly whats the difference...at least most of the people involved are trying to get the breed recognized. Every breed didnt start out being "legit"in the eyes of the AKC. The whole show dog world is superficial anyways its about looks and people take it upon themselves to decide what looks good and what doesnt and thus many breeds have changed...so in the 80's Mr.Beiwer decided he liked a white/tri-colored yorkie and many have followed.At least they are trying to be legit.Just like the Norfolk and Norwich fanciers many years ago right? PLEASE SOMEONE TELL ME THE DIFFERENCE!?
