Biewer terriers are relatively newer than Yorkshire and though very strongly related from that breed's lineage, they are very specific in coloration as well as the other poster mentions, are established from Germany and not from Yorkshire, Britain. | But a silky is an actual breed recognized by the AKC. Silkies and yorkies have similar looks to the untrained eye, and they do have some similar breeds in their history.
