It was such a small collection of dogs used it could hardly be called much of a sample.
I do not have Biewer Terriers.. I have/had Biewer Yorkshire Terriers.. I do not breed Biewer to Biewer.. I have learned my lesson! That line of yorkies is far to in bred, to many genetic problems, and still you hear people shouting from the roof tops BREED BIEWER TO BIEWER ONLY!!! MY GRACIOUS!!! What are we trying to prove??? What is the goal??? What can possibly be that important??? Is it REALLY that important to SAY both of my dogs can trace back to Mr Biewers original YORKIE!! I mean really?? so what if my dog has bad digestion, seizures, teeth, liver ???
I understand ALL yorkies have these same issues.. BUT, when you have such a limited gene pool to begin with.. where do you go when you know these problem exist??? How long can you stick your head in the sand before you can no longer breath?? Is if fair to bring the puppies down with you?
I breed back to Yorkies, I also breed to Parti yorkies.. I am ALWAYS honest..
Yes, I believe some of my dogs were directly related to the dogs used in the group these "lady's" submitted for the Biewer Terrier data.. if they actually submitted samples from the dogs they said they did, which of course I question because I question everything that these people say and do.
I no longer have any of those Biewers as I have had to spay/ neuter all of my dogs because of genetic issues that I did not want to pass on to future generations.

I DO understand that your diatribe is part of the over all controversy with the Biewer. I HAVE read the prior YT posts dealing with this issue where a lot of breeders on ALL sides tossed a lot of mud around. I HAVE read about the people who falsified award records in 2010. I HAVE visted and read through all the different "clubs" & registries. I HAVE also already read about the controversy with DNA testing. And probably everything else having to do with this would be, soon to be or already is an independent breed.
I think I've done enough to reach my own conclusion - even if I never mated 2 tri-colored dogs myself.
FOR ALL BIEWER or PARTI-YORKIE NEWBIES: It's not that difficult to follow. You can reach your own conclusion for yourself too.
I don't think any corner should take the
bully pulpit. It's easy enough for people who can read & navigate the web to figure out. It's not rocket science -- just people & dogs and everything's posted online somewhere.
