| Ok, correct me if I am wrong as I dont know that much about biewers. I was under the impression that biewers cant be bred to yorkies and be registered as biewers. So, how does a splitter litter fit in to the "breeding" program? I believe this was under the code of ethics for biewers. Also, I saw, in person, my first biewer this week-end!!! She was very cute and pretty. But, defineately not a yorkie!!! There were lots of differences between the two breeds. This was an import from Germany. |

| I was told splitters are to bring color back into the biewers.. I'd love to have a splitter or one of Kathy or Dee's babies!

| Thanks for all the info!!!! Very confusing!!! I hope they get it all worked out and work together on this. the beiwer I saw was very soft coated and had that kind of sun-burned black and white color. She was really cute. |

| A Biewer should look identicle to a Yorkshire Terrier except for the color. And yes, there is a LOT of controversy and disagreement in the Biewer world..it's a doozie

| I would have to say that this biewer look more like a shih-tzu./yorkie/papillon mix to me. She did not have a level top-line or was not even close to being conformationally similar to a Yorkie. Her face was very Yorkie like but the ear placement was not quite correct. She was very cute and lovable. If they are supposed to look like a Yorkie, then this person must have gotten ripped off to the tune of a few thousand dollars plus shipping from Germany. I hope they can get the breed standard down for this fledgling breed. |

| Controversy is an understatement! I have both...as you can see my 2 yorkies look very different from each other and my biewer looks different from both the yorkies. They also have very different personalities...But I wouldn't ever put a blanket statement on the breed. They are individual souls and beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I just hope there will be fewer unethical breeders of biewers as people become more educated... I guess it is good to have a dream. I will tell you it takes some fortitude to be able to deal with people who make disparaging remarks... people who know nothing of Biewers who argue that it is a mixed breed...Vets & Vet Techs who think they know everything... and people who are just downright rude about commenting how what kind of dog a person owns. I love my babies...all of them...for their quirks, faults and unconditional love back. I am very lucky!

Donating YT 2000 Club Member | I'll try to add to the explanation. A biewer mated to a biewer produces biewers. A biewer mated to a splitter (1/2 yorkie, 1/2 biewer--looks like a yorkie usually) will produce some biewers and some splitters. A splitter mated to a splitter can produce either splitters or biewers. |

| OK, here is another question. If the Biewer people are trying to get a separate breed and it looks like they have done that because of the registries for them, in Germany and now in the USA, then why must they continue to breed with Yorkies? I thought they were a "separate breed" and "not a Yorkie" and can stand on their own. |
