I can't tell the difference between them by looking. I do like the fact that the Biewers have long tails though. But a Parti could have that too if you just left the tail long. |
Biewers coloring was also considered a fault by the VDH (the German equivalent of AKC) in 1989 Mr. Biewer had the dogs accepted as a breed of their own through ACH.
The breed has now, however, been recognized in other countries by registries recognized by AKC and show in FCI confirmation shows.
