Well, that is a good thing for them since AKC will only be accepting BTRA registered dogs. They will be one step closer to getting their dogs registered.
While you look for a Biewer, make sure it's registered with BTRA, as that is your only guarantee you are getting a purebred.

Partis are tri-colored Yorkies. They can be registered with but not shown in AKC. Can be shown in some other venues. There is no standard set for them that allows for the non-standard coloring, but typically, most Parti breeders follow the YT standard with color as the exception.

I know for a fact that there is is a lot of Biewers out there that have been DNA tested that do not belong to the BTRA. |
