Are you saying that no members of the BTCA are breeding Yorkies to Biewers? Quote:

Does the BBCI still have members that are breeding known lines that have produced L.S. and selling them as breeders? |

Could you explain what you mean by "a gene crossover"? I haven't heard that term before. |

Those genes from the new breed are what's present in the new breed to create certain traits. In our case the sp, responsible for the black and white spotting across the back, si, patterned coloring of 4 white legs, chest, belly, and tip of the tail, sw, dogs going almost all white. So you can see why the Yorkie people are upset about the Parti's, knowing that another breed was in involved in its coloring. I myself believe that some, not all, of the parti's now being produced have Biewer in them, which is upsetting to our breed. There is an easy end to the controversy, and that is the testing of dogs. |
I have a question. If you breed your Yorkie to a Parti carrier, do you get a Parti colored Yorkie from that breeding? I have seen some ads that say that the parent was a Parti carrier and both parents looked like Yorkies to me. |

Gayle is the best of the best when it comes to breeding biewers(in my book), she knows what she's talking about! |
Gayle has the experience and the knowledge of years of breeding that have been highly valuable in the development of the Biewer in the US. I have never met anyone that can retain so much information. Working with the scientific community, the Biewer has been proven to be its own breed. |

Jan, would you mind sharing some information on the litters you have had with us? The more input we can get the better off this breed will be. |
When did the BTCA stop breeding to splitters? I know when I was researching clubs (less than a year ago) the BTCA not only condoned but promoted the use of splitters in their breeding program. This is an interesting turn of events. Thank you Jaxx for posting the link to Colorful Yorkies...contains good information. :) |

When we first got our dogs from Germany every breeder said that it was important to breed Yorkies back into the lines. A couple of us experimented with this theory and know first hand the results of such breedings. Because of this we are better able to understand why some litters born to Biewer to Biewer breedings have turned out the way they have. We contacted Mars Veterinary in Feb of 2007 and were not able to begin testing until Sept. Once it was verified that we had a truly separate breed from the Yorkshire Terrier we called a stop to adding Yorkies back in. If they had tested out to be Yorkies then there would have been no reason to stop breeding to Yorkies, because after all, that's what they were, right? Now doesn't the bbci claim that they are a Yorkshire Terrier with a mutant piebald gene? If that is the case then can you explain what the difference is between what you have and the what the Parti breeders have? |
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? |
Quote:
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? |
