The Biewer is ONLY it's own breed because Mr Biewer wanted to show it..so they allowed him to call it a seperate breed for showing, it is.. IN FACT, a tri colored yorkie, just like the AKC registered Parti Yorkies in the states.. however, unlike the AKC registered Parti yorkies in the states, they are not able to be registered with the AKC because their parents are not registered witht he AKC. To be a Biewer, one, or both of the parents have to come from Mr. Biewers lines of tri colored yorkies. (which he bred from two traditionally colored yorkies which carried the recessive piebald gene) which SOME yorkies DO carry. (even though there are those who like to keep putting their heads under the sand up to their necks and ignore it).
Honestly.. someone has to check this forum constantly or all sorts of falsehoods get out there as fact.. tisk tisk tisk!!!

No they do not carry the piebald gene. Interestingly enough, I have talked to Yorkie show breeders in Yorkies for over 35 years. In all their years of breeding they have never seen a yorkie puppy or litter that are particoloured or tri coloured. Do you not think that this would have been seen in all those decades if it were a recessive gene issue?
Chocolates are also recessive gene colours. Some of the breeders I know have seen a chocolate crop up once in one litter and because they know their pedigrees back in generations, were able to avoid that happening again.
