Now there are several lines in this breed. How did this happen??? It is very clear. If they were not breed back with their heritage (yorkshire terriers) otherwise we would only have ONE line and really sick dogs from inbreeding.
Since the Biewers were established from the Yorkshire Terrier line how can this now become a mix???? I understand for them to stand on their own as a breed of their own they shouldn't be breed back to b/g yorkie. The goal to improve the breed since it is such a new breed, breeders in Germany are still breeding back with the b/g. Some of these breeders belong to the very same club of the IBC. So, unless they are banned or in the process of being banned I feel that this is still exceptable, with the IBC.
I would love to see this Biewers become a variation or type of Yorkshire. Not to compete against the Yorshire Terrier as it does go against the breed standard the was set by the YTCA and that AKC follows them as the parent club for the breed...  There are many many other variations of other breeds in AKC. This is will take many years for this to happen and all the right steps would have to be taken first. When the time comes I would love to see the YTCA join our force & help us get them introduced properly to ensure that they enter the ring as a breed of their own as the silkies are. I have a question Sue. When you show Homer (who is adorable by the way ) how does the International entity judge him? Based on what standard or rules? I visited their website and I don't see anything about Biewers..I don't remember anyway..
Homer entered the ring under his category a Biewer Yorkshire Terrier. He was judged against his standard the was set for this breed. The judges at these shows are AKC and UCI judges.
I am hoping that our trip to Germany this year will fill in the blanks for us. Until then I am no long going to go tit for tat here. I have provided many links on this whole subject for everyone to reasearch. Come to our own conclusions. Good Luck to everyone.  |
Having been in Yorkies for over 30 years I have never gotten a Biewer Yorkie nor know of any other show exhibitor that has. We don't know what happened way back before Biewer got his 1st Biewer dog himself and. Just as we won't promote the chocolate, nor would we the Biewer.
The Biewer is not going to become a variation in type, so it only stands to reason to get them a name that someday AKC can accept and they won't accept Yorkshire on the Biewer name. Quite frankly, the Silky has more in common then the Biewer. This is a cute dog, why not go for the breed as a breed. If it's a Yorkie, then it would never be called a Biewer, it would be called what it is which is a tri-color.
I give credit to those trying to start a new breed and have the breed stand on it's own merit. If at any time I can offer any advice please feel free to ask.
