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:

I just don’t want anyone to think they are the same because they aren’t. Someone might think they are get one and realize that they have much different personalities. Although they are absolutely beautiful I personally love the yorkie attitude and personality. I think that looking for a breeder with the internet tools can definitely be more helpful then without but sadly there are a lot more scammers out there then I even thought.
