Is it true (not sure if I heard this from a reliable source) that if and when the Biewer is recognized as a separate breed into a large club (such as AKC) that pedigrees have to contain no Yorkshire Terriers for at least 3 generations on both sides? |

I am glad I decided on the Biewers instead of Parti Yorkshires, although there are some wonderful Parti breeders on here. I feel uncomfortable breeding a line that cannot be shown although I do admire the Partis that are responsibly bred. Biewers just worked better for my preference since they are considered a completely different breed. |

Most of the Parti lines that I've researched including the Nikko's line, are tracing back to one dog. I thought I had my own outcross line but he also traces back - 12 generations? - to this dog born almost 50 years ago (1959). If the parti gene can be passed on for 50 years, why couldn't the parti gene have been past on for 50, 60 or 70 years prior to that, introduced by the unpapered, non purebred dogs who began this breed? According to the website, the Mars test is not to be used for testing purebred dogs ... why? Does it give off false readings when you test a purebred? Did you also test Yorkshire terriers when you tested your Biewers to see how the results compared? |

I guess I need to know what the best American Registry is? And what most everyone recommends? |

The parti's lines we have today are a result of a surprise parti being born to two traditional parents (parents who both carried the recessive parti gene). So yes, it's possible to breed a parti carrier yorkie to a traditional yorkie and have a parti colored pup, if the traditional yorkie was also carrying the recessive parti gene. |

So what exactly are "parti yorkies"? From what I have seen, they are REALLY lightly coloured. I am going to guess that you can't show them? Due they carry any genetic issues? |

If you can answer that question...then you most likely will know which American club to register your pups with. :D All kidding aside...all three of mine are registered in Germany (where the breed originated) as Biewer Yorkshire Terrier A La Pom Pon's. So for now, that is how I plan to register what few litter's I may have in the future. I have plans to better research the American clubs and pick the one that is better suited to my beliefs and ethics, so I can start dual registering my future pups. |

A year ago...the Biewer was also considered a tri yorkie that originated in Germany. However there are some in the breed who now believe the Biewer to be a new breed that was produced from mixing breeds. Now that I own both a Biewer and a Parti Yorkie...I can see the many difference's in the breeds. I truly can. As far as "genetic issue's"? From my understanding...neither of these parti varieties produce anymore health issue's then the traditional yorkshire breed itself. I have not heard of any color related defects in either breed. |

The reason Mars says it does not test for purebreds is because of legal issues. How do you think they are able to test the heritage of dogs if they didn't have the markers of purebreds? And, yes we had Yorkies tested and they came back Yorkies. So my question to you Bama is if you have purebred Biewers as your president told someone the other day, why are you breeding Yorkies back? |
