They are not bred with Yorkies anymore. . . It is only Biewer to Biewer breeding |
Oh, thanks for clarifying!
I've gone back to the site and they are adamant that the biewers are biewer yorkies and not biewer terriers and go into a whole lot of info regarding the reasons - which I don't fully understand - so more research necessary, I guess?
If the classification is just political, but doesn't affect the temperament etc which I know having had Yorkies, then I guess that'll be good enough for me.......
Nothing is simple, is it!
Thanks again for the quick response x
