The Biewer is a beautiful breed from Germany. They originated from Blue and Gold Yorkshire Terrier parents, to put it as simple as possible. They have now evolved into a breed of their own. They have a standard which calls for markings that are speficially placed. Many simplify them to be a Yorkie of a different color. But 20 years later they are a breed of their own. When the breed was first created the breeder was going to have it as a varitity of Yorkie but over time, the club that accpeted the Biewer has decided it should a breed of it's own. And that's what we have today!
In Germany, they do not compete alongside with Yorkies. Meaning, they are not considered a Yorkie of a different color.
In the US we have a Parti Yorkie. Which can be similar in markings sometimes. But a Parti Yorkie is only required to have 2 or more colors, one being white.

The controversy is about whether the Biewer is 'just a Yorkie with a different color'. And according to Germany and club that was first to recognize the Biewer that is NOT the case.

All of the information I have provided is on the German Biewer Club's website:

I think the controversy is not as strong because many of the members on YT that opposed this, are now members of the IBC just as I am. That's in the best interest of this beautiful breed.

Sorry to talk your ear off, but you asked..lolol.

Feel free to see my Biewers on my website.
