Reputable Parti Breeders?

[EmrldShdwQueen]

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 believe you are right. I also know that AKC will not accept any foreign registry other than the approved ones on their site and not one of the registries that are registering the Biewers now are listed. Anyone still registering in Germany should start looking for an accepted registry in America to register their Biewers with.

Which do you recommend? Mine are IBC registered so far, which can be transferred to the American registries I assume. When I first started doing research I was told over and over again that the only acceptable Biewer registration was IBC. I know a lot has changed since then. Thanks for all this info, I have been keeping up and it is extremely helpful.

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.

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.

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 too am very interested in what American Registry is recommended. I also, in my search, was told to go IBC. My girl is IBC. I plan to breed Biewer to Biewer.

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

I have seen some ads that say that the parent was a Parti carrier and both parents looked like Yorkies to me.

Here are a few of my parti carriers .... their sire's are all parti's so we know they are carriers but just by looking at them, they look like a traditional yorkie.

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.

Tammy, Huck is looking mighty good. He's growing up so fast! Can't wait till you make some little Huckleberry Livi puppies!

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?

Well, Brenda, it's simple really. The answer to that question can only be answered by you. Do you own a Biewer, a Biewer Terrier, or a Biewer Yorkshire Terrier A La Pom Pon?

If you can answer that question...then you most likely will know which American club to register your pups with.

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.

We have proven the breed is a distinctly separate breed and anyone still breeding Yorkies with the Biewers, after being presented the facts is doing no more than creating Yorkie mixes. Dog hybrid - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Biewer Terrier is a DNA proven purebred. The piebald gene in the Biewer was created through a gene crossover not a mutant gene.

So essentially then, wouldn't that make all Biewers (or at least those tested) 'mixes' themselves? If they are a result of other breeds being introduced, and not having derived from standard Yorkies as has always been claimed...until recently...by some...?

A parti yorkie is simply a tri (black/white/tan) Yorkshire Terrier that is considered a purebred and is allowed AKC registration.
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.

Every dog is mixed with something, except a maltese!

No that wouldn't make all Biewers mixes. As with almost every breed on Earth, they were a combination of purebreds. They are now a distinct breed of their own, and considered a purebred.

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?

But then they all derived from what most would consider "mixes," right? A combination of various breeds that other have/are working towards having recognized as a breed. And would have been considered so until their fairly recent recognition as a 'breed' by certain organizations? Just trying to understand the logic.

My president? Who would that be? Bush? Obama? Because those are the only presidents I have, not being a member of any breed clubs myself. Not really sure what you mean by "why are you breeding Yorkies back"...lol, I'm not breeding anything.

Sorry Bama, I got you confused with a breeder that might know something about breeding Biewers and the genetics of dogs. My apologies.
