I think you did fine. I just PM'd the original poster of this thread because I didn't want to get toasted either. Here is my understanding and by no way am I an expert. I can only theorize what I have read. If this is incorrect please state it nicely. The Biewer is a color anomally from a Yorkshire Terrier. Mr. Biewer took the color anomally and worked very hard genetically to produce a certain standard that HE was working toward (as far as where certain marking should be). That would take a long time and a lot of weeding out to put it in simple terms. Those standards that he wanted to and DID achieve are not the Yorkie standard. However, he got it consitent enough that he wanted to call it a different "breed"...not a Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. Just a Biewer. However, the background of the Biewer from what I know did not have a new "ingredient" breed added to it. I could be wrong. Please let me know if I am. It is beautiful and will lose the markings and standards that he achieved if bred to a Yorkie. However, ONLY MY PERSONAL OPINION, if you read between the lines, it is not a mixed breed. It may resemble one because it may not follow either standard, but it is .... well....you know.... |
