If the AKC is not recognizing them as a separate breed and there are maybe a handful of clubs in the United States, that tells me they are not that well known. I live in puppy mill central and still have never heard of them. To the YT members and Yorkie "people" I can understand. To the normal everyday Joe on the street, when I tell them what breed he is, they scratch their head. They started importing them from Germany around 2003 so they are not that old of a breed. Just like some everday Joe scratches his head when he sees a Saluki for the first time, for they are considered the oldest breed dating back to the 1800's from Egypt.
You watch, now that I mentioned the Saluki, there will now be a debate on wether it is the oldest breed or not...Oh sheesh! SMH. To funny! |
You must be closing your eyes and ignoring the puppymills in your area (like so many do) cuz there are a ton of them (Biewers)in PA. Hell I've seen them posted for sale on Cardboard box pieces on a stick off the thruway on my millions of trips through there. I have had 2 Biewers my bff has 1 I even see them at the petstore imported from MO and PA.
Never heard of a Saluki, thanks for the info...we rarely debate about other breeds...we are Intense Yorkie Loving folks here!!!
