First of all, I am NOT looking to get another puppy. This ad just bug me.  I looked at the picture mainly becasuse I want to see what a $7,500 puppy looks like. It is a white dog with a Yorkie's face. I mean if you only see the face, the shape and coloring looks just like a Yorkie. They called it a "rare" Yorkie and I don't know what to make of it. Any idea? |

This breed is considered rare due to fact they are only 20 years in existence and there might be about 100 of this breed here in America at this time.
Their heritage is from a Yorkshire and were developed into this breed by a pie-bald recessive gene to develop the colorings.
Here is a couple of good links that will help you understand the breed. These are the top German Clubs that represent the Biewer Yorkshire breed as our YTCA represents the Yorkshire Terriers. International Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Club e.V. -- IBC German Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Club e.V.
These links I have added are the translated links for your reading pleasure...lol.
On the serious side it has some interesting and good factual reading on the breed and it's standard. It is my goal to educate those interested in learning about the Biewers as I have decided to get involved in being a breeder here in America.
Regarding the price you read in the paper in my opinion is quite a bit over priced...
If people are patient and wait they can and will find them for a reasonable price.
This is one of my Male Biewers at his last show in Nov. We are really excited to attend the show in Lexington, Kentucky on April 8th & 9th. as well as taking some of our Biewers back to Germany in October to show in their homeland...
