This is where the confusion comes in....the Biewers are NOT registerable with the AKC, the parti yorkies ARE. They are all yorkies IMO but that is where all the confusion comes in...bc Mr. Biewer could not get them registered with the breed club (the equivalent to the AKC in Germany) when they were developed, They were then registered with another breed club....I don't remember if it was a club he founded himself or a rare breed club...sorry forgot all the specifics. Because of this the AKC will not register the Biewer as a separate breed. From what information I could gather the Biewer is not a separate breed, they are yorkies with a different standard not the standard of the AKC...color fault. The parti's are the same yorkies that we all love, but are accepted by the AKC and the CKC (Canadian Kennel Club) here in Canada. Hope I explained that properly....Biewer breeders please correct me if I got that wrong. Charlene is correct, the parti's can't be shown, if they aren't the blue and tan colouring set out by the AKC.
