These Biewers were born from Irish spotted parents but I kept them because of sound structure, good lines and other qualities as these are more important to me right now than specific color placement is. I will be adding more Parti's to my program to strengthen my Biewer lines by opening up the genetic pool and help improve the coats.
I love both the Biewer and the Parti.. I believe they are one in the same.. they are both tri colored yorkies.. the Biewer is just a German line of the tri yorkie that is not AKC registerable. Each of the lines have advantages and disadvantages but they can both complement each other.. it need not be an either or proposition.. they are one in the same dog. When bred together, they are registered as biewers. I do not hack off the tails of any of my puppies, Biewers or carriers and never will again.. I just can't imagine loosing that glorious happy little appendage.
Nice thread Breny.. Thanks

How can they be the same dog when one has the irish spotting gene and the other has the piebald gene. I understand they look alike but genetically they are different. Im not questioning you this just really confuses me how they could be called the same dog.
