Different colors would even pop up in good breeding so I think different colors can be just as health as traditional yorkies it just depends. I saw someone trying to sell pure black yorkies but they weren’t AKC so they were mixes trying to be passed off as rare so you just have to be careful when buying an off color. |
Yeah but so recently many of us still classify them in our heads as Yorkie produced from mutated genes at first - but from their AKC website history, it sounds as if the Biewers were trying for a multi-colored dog, their interest in breeding Yorkies having waned in 1981. Maybe they had a mutation or introduced another breed or two to get the colors B4 that first Biewer type dog was whelped. Now known as Biewer Terriers, a stand-alone breed and AKC History says they have a piebald recessive gene not usually found in the Yorkshire Terrier. So I would think Biewer breeders likely do occasionally have the parti-colored Yorkie-like pups, too, now and then. Here is some more information on Biewer's from the AKC website, interesting history that notes Yorkshire Terrier breeders were that couple named Biewer who was involved in naming these rare & unique pups, first documented birth in 1984, the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier, which later known as the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon, pompon meaning a small, decorated ball of feathers or fabric, also called pompom or tuft-like! AKC has a recognized a parent club and has breeder info to start networking from perhaps. Way more info than I had when I started hunting for reputable Yorkie breeders back in the day b4 the internet:
