I have a 5month old Biewer (Biva) Terrier and she's spot on 5 pounds right now .. even though she was so so very cute at 9 weeks we are glad she's going to be 8-10 pounds rather than staying at 5 .. she is so full of live an spunk being more "sturdy" so to speak will suit her personality much more ... she runs full speed at the park and trips and flips in pot holes or mole hills/holes ... if she was 2 or 3 pounds I'd be scared she may break something ..... not saying that the smaller ones don't have that spunk and aren't tough as nails as well .... Gizmo Lee a yorkie I follow on facebook is very small but acts like a 70 pound dog :-)
The German standard is:
Weight and Height:
Up to 22cm in height and a weight of about 3.1 kg. which translates to roughly 7 pounds and 8.7 inches American standard is: Weight is 4 to 8 pounds I love this being written into the standard :-) Temperament of the Biewer Terrier is intelligent, loyal and very devoted to their human family. They have a fun loving, child like attitude that makes them a great companion for all ages We are so in love with our Biva :-) (pronounced like Diva with a German accent) .. I believe the adopted American pronunciation is Bewer (Bee-you-er) but have also read some people pronounce is Bevaire ..... I have had so so many strange looks and had people laugh as scoff me when I say Biva .. with an Australian accent it sound so much like a Beaver :-P .. this Halloween I'm looking for a beaver outfit for her :-) anyhoo .... I love this fluff buckets ... in the short time we've had her she's given us oodles of joy :-) :-) I love your babies too .. I knda went way off track there but was basically saying regardless of size they make great companions :-)
