Without starting a massive argument, I'll just agree to disagree. The jury is still out by some people on whether they are, or aren't the same breed. Which is strange, because I'm not entirely disagreeing. I just know that there are some registries which still allow Parti-Yorkies to be registered in the stud book as Biewers. Which I think is a good thing, if done correctly. The wider the gene pool is, the less inbreeding coefficient to spring up. The only thing to worry about is any sub-par dogs you enter into the stud book. Even if you're increasing genetic diversity, if you start adding dogs with genetic defects in the mix, you're doing more harm than good.
At any rate, I guess I should rephrase my question. When I first started researching Biewers, I know the IBC accepted parti-color Yorkies for single registration, and one of the domestic registries (but I forget which one. I thought I book marked it, but didn't.) I guess my question should be rephrased as to what steps does one have to take to register with the IBC? |
