The story of the "original" Biewers is filled with holes. The FACT is that the whole story is based on a story passed on from person to person. Before DNA pedigrees were an honor systems from which many of the German imports had falsified papers. Sad as it may be it is true. The MARS testing has been tried over and over and it does give an accurate result with a very small margin of error contrary to what some say, even those who admit to never doing it or even knowing anyone who has. No one can definitively say their dogs are direct descendents of the Biewers dogs because many of the lines out of Germany had "doctored" papers and the biggest Biewer registry in Germany that people like to reference will register Yorkies, Biewers, Biros and Golddust and allows all of them to cross so this is not credible. The original Biewer and its truth is and will be a mystery. through the years yorkies were bred with "Biewers" and other breeds and new genes entered the gene pool resulting in what is known today as "Biewers" and the BTCA, regardless of the nay sayers, has used the research study and the MARS test to help have the breed recognized as a PURE BREED in America byt the American Rare Breed Assoc. in South Africa by the KUSA and in Brasil by the CBKC. I have done my research for a very long time and I have been in dogs for 26 years and I am quite convinced that Biewer Terriers are not Yorkies. Crossing Biewers and yorkies gets you a mixed breed. plain and simple. Now there are Biros and golddusts?? What next? Biewer Terriers DO NOT produce these new colors, why not?? Beacuse they are a breed not a variety of yorkie. Sorry to those who will dispute me but I need no more proof, this is a breed. |
