I have attached a quick reference of the standard set for this Biewer Breed.

Thank you I think Homer is a beaut... I will keep all his accomplishments on my website. (which needs my attention desperately...lol) He has been such a natural for the show ring and feel very blessed to have him as a addition to my breeding program.

Yes, it does make sense. They are cousins - not Yorkie but share the same heritage. It's a new breed in the making. I was just confused by the ad. This may sound a little stupid but how do you pronounce "Biewer"? I just want to be able to say it correctly.

I had just finished reading all the replies. Wow! It is really fascinating. Thanks for all the information. I never realize how difficult it is to develop a new breed and/or just getting people to recognize it. Sometime it’s even hard to get people to show some support. I am grateful for anyone who is trying to introduce Biewer. Not everybody would agree on this and I realize that. Every single breed has to start somewhere and it is hard work. I do think people should be given the chance to learn about them as they seem so sweet and adorable. I love Yorkies. How can I not fall for their cousins as their little faces remind me so much of my little baby girl? To me, it was a good thing that I saw the ad and brought it up. I have learned a lot here, thanks to everybody. IT would be heartbreaking if any puppy mill gets their eyes on Biewer.

Sue (is it?), I checked out additional pictures of Homer that you had posted. He is just a handsome boy. Sure looks like a winner to me. Anyway, I would really like to get on your website. Could you give me the address? Maybe one day I would get to meet one in person. Thanks again.
