I agree, they are adorable. Don't think anyone argues that. Purists step aside? Not sure what that means.

This explains the controversy. Even breeders on here can't agree.

As a very new breed, there remains some controversy over whether the Biewer is a completely separate breed or is simply a colour variation of the Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer is not currently recognized by any of the major international kennel clubs.
