The offspring of such a cross are called "splitters" because they're heterozygous for the gene responsible for Biewer color. If you're trying to breed purebred Yorkies or Biewers, it's definitely a bad idea to cross the two together. Yorkies are supposed to be bred with Yorkies, and Biewers are supposed to be bred with Biewers.
agreed
