I do not think they should be judged as Yorkshire Terriers, in fact it would be impossible. However, I did buy mine looking at her top line, her ear set, her weight etc. I think it is not a problem to have two different "breeds" of dogs. There is no indications that the ORIGINAL Biewers from Germany are in reality a mixed breed. Should Mr.Biewer have neutered/spayed that original genetic defect? (Well, that is too late to answer). They are here to stay! Just My Humble Opinion.  |
It doesn't matter if Germany keeps a stud book, that is not a recognized registry, even in Germany. The US needs to form it's own club and maintain it's own stud book. They would become part temporarily of the Rare Breeds Club and look forward to being a recognized breed of it's own. So I think we are in accordance here as I also think they should have their own status. I am talking with some Biewer people now and have offered my help in getting this all off the ground.
I am in no way knocking the Biewer as it's own breed. There are some real cute pictures posted here and think they deserve recognition as a breed.
