| Biewers and Yorkies? I have absolutely no reason for wanting to know the answer to this question but I don't remember anyone ever asking so here goes...What happens if you breed an Biewer with a Yorkie? What will their babies look like? One or the other or a mix of both? Edited to add - This is a totally hypothetical question.

| I'm not an expert.. but I believe that they can come out one way or another! Just depends. Its like humans with different eye or hair colors. But one HAS to be a biewer in order for that to happen. But I'm sure some of our Biewer experts will explain! Sorry if I was wrong!

Donating YT 10K Club Member | A breeding between a biewer and a standard colored yorkie results in standard color puppies...

| You must have 2 dogs with the piebald gene to get parti pups. If you take a Biewer (has 2 piebald genes) and a standard yorkie (0 piebald genes), you get all puppies with 1 piebald gene. These will all look like standard yorkies but be carriers of the gene. If you take a Biewer and breed with a standard yorkie that is a parti carrier (has 1 gene like the pups above), then you'll get some biewers and some standard-looking carriers.

| Thanks for the information. I've always wondered. So, the million dollar question - If you breed a Biewer with a Yorkie will the pups be considered mixed? It would seem to me that would be the case? Again, just curious.

| If they are yorkies that carry the gene, they are called splitters. Some breeders breed exclusively biewer to biewer and some breed back to yorkies occassionally.

| The pups can be born to look like standard Yorkies OR Biewers. |

| Yes, if you are talking about registration guess they would be considered mixed breed because a Biewer is registered as a separate breed and the Yorkshire Terrier is a separate breed. |

| Depends on who you ask. And depends on "who" you are referring to. There is still alot up in the air w/ Biewers and no consensus amongst the breeders. |

| I really know very little about Biewers but don't they have a separate registery? I thought a Biewer was a breed from the UK and the parti Yorkie was created in the U.S. but was registered as a Yorkshire Terrier. All I know is I have seen some pictures of some beautiful Biewers |

| They have bred biewers with yorkies....and I'm sure if you ask one of the biewer breeders on here, they can tell you what they will look like..I have seen a girl from a splitter litter, and she was darker but you could tell she had some biewer in her |
