genetically they are the same except for the piebald gene. biewers came from yorkies. In germany they are in a breed class of their own and they are trying to establish that here too. But to me that doesn't mean they aren't the same. its like any other breed that has 'subclasses' due to its coat or coloring. ie: rough collie - smooth collie; wire, smooth, long haired dauschund; cocker spaniels; beagles (size); etc... would you say that a 13 inch beagle is an entirely different breed then the 15 inch bealgle? i wouldn't. both are beagles, just different sizes.
now that's just my opinion
