We LOVE the coloring of the Biewer (more so than parti), the tempermant and their build. There is a lot of warnings out there about being the real thing and this week a breeder in Hungary played some crazy games with us, we were heartbroken and still looking...
We LOVE Yorkshire Terrier BUT have a lot of fear buying a Yorkshire as there are a lot of bad lines, mills and let's just say people doing the wrong things with them, or we could be here all day.
It seems the Parti is more scary?? since it is fairly new any problems which may arise have not yet been discovered?
It also seems that breeding the Biewer and the Yorkshire is not advisable nor acceptable?
Any advise, comments and yes criticisms are welcomed.
Thanks!! |
I'm so sorry to hear you ran across a bad breeder in Hungary! Just don't give up, and keep looking -- you will find your "perfect" puppy soon!
I can't comment on the Parti's, but I have a Biewer and I don't think you'll be disappointed if you add one to your family! The most important thing that I could tell you is to research, research, research and when you're done -- research some more! You can google Biewer and find a bunch of info. Also, there are several Biewer Breed Clubs that you can check out. Go to
www.biewertalk.com and also use the search feature here on YT. as these little beauties have been discussed at length.
As with any breed, there are some breeders who are just in it for the money, and really don't care about the quality -- just the quantity. Some will say all the right things -- just to "close the deal." They can put up a website, with wonderful pictures, and convince you they know "all the answers." When in fact, they have copied and pasted from other sites, let others do the research, and actually haven't a clue about the breeding. They put two dogs together and have puppies, without understanding bloodlines, pedigrees, what faults are what. They'll sell you their pup, and give you breeding rights because "the puppy is cute," "it's got good markings" or "it will be the correct size."
Like someone mentioned -- research the breeder well. Talk to several, and then ask for references. Vet references and past buyers. Find out all you can!
Didn't mean to go on so long... but I just love my little girl, and I see so many bad quality pups being sold by bad quality breeders. Keep your eyes open!
I got my Lola from a YT member (snow yorkies) and her site is
www.magnoliasmagnificentyorkies.com. I need to get some updated pictures, but here she is at 7 months old...
