The big controversy here has always been with the parti yorkies that look like the biewers because they are considered a color fault and parti owners are breeding them with chocolates or goldens or whatever to get the latest color fad to sell for the highest price the market will allow. Unfortunately you also see this type of breeding going on in the biewers to with the biro biewers and off colors so that is also frowned upon by different clubs in the biewers that think they are diluting the gene pool. So yorkie club and biewer clubs are experiencing the same frustration with some of these breeders |
Well, yes, clearly splitters are frowned upon, but I saw a lot of opinions from a few years ago that really downed Biewers..."not a separate breed", "Yorkie with a color fault", even "Biewer owners try to 'hide' Biewer lineage", "never will be a separate breed"...it was kind of eerie, considering they totally are. Lol.
That said, I like a "traditional" Biewer....not a splitter, strong black saddle, white tummy, legs, tail, and chin. Never chocolate, and I'm more smitten with the above four and a half pound group.
I also know that Biewers don't have a set pattern that is "correct". I just like the look of the "original" standard.
