What is the difference between a biewer and a tri-color yorkie? Does anyone have a pic of a Tri?
If a TRUE Biewers is mated w/ a Standard Yorkie, isn't it still TRUE since a biewer IS from 2 standard yorkies originally???????   |
I think this is what all the confusion is about....
Originally the Biewers were a genetic mistake or defect, Mr.Biewer decided he loved them and wanted to see if he could recreate it. He did. Usually when there is a genetic mistake, the dog would be spayed/neutered to avoid them passing the mistake on. All yorkies are descended from other terriers...if the breed stayed the same regardless how many differences happened, no new breeds would ever be formed and it would be impossible to have conformation shows (dogs shown to a standard). IMHO, a Biewer is descended from standard Yorkies but is it's own entity.
