13 years ago I met a wonderful breeder that I purchased my first German Shepherd from. Approximately 10 years ago, she breed her tradional male with a black female and produce the first tri-color German Shepherd now known as the Panda Shepherd. When this happened my friend was judged ridiculed and treated very badly for her breeding practices. She held her ground and began working with a genetist and was able to prove her dogs were pure and the gene was isolated and was found to have came from her tradional male. She has been a guardian of her colorful Shepherds and has every litter DNA to see which pup carries the gene and is very selective as to the placement. I have since purchased another boy from her, his mother is a Panda Shepherd and his father is a tradional. My boy is a tradional and does not carry the Panda gene.
I am not as of yet, an expert when it comes to the Biewer Terrier however, I know that through DNA studies Mr. Biewer was enhancing his "color lines" with other breeds. I can only speculate why because he is not here to tell us but I believe he was trying to produce color and specific looks using the Yorkies as the foundation.
I believe as far as the Parti Yorkie as with the Panda Shepherd, the dog will either carry the gene or it won't. To the OP... the only way you will know is to contact a genesist. If you breed a parti into your lines you may or may not have a baby who will carry the gene.

I believe that with the AKC recognized breeds I counted over 15 who have the piebald gene.

Wow, never, ever has it been printed that Mr. Biewer was enhancing his "color lines" with other breeds. Even the BTCA who is the one trying to convience everyone that there is a new breed in the Biewers, have ever said it was Mr. Biewer. IN fact that is one of the mysteries, what is the other breed and who did the introduction in all of the Biewers in Germany or was it done once these dogs hit the US. I don't doubt there were some breeders in Germany that made designer dogs but that was not the norm.

I will never believe that a Black & White coloured dog EVER came from the Streamglen Kennels. We have breeders in the UK with the same breeding kennel lines and we have never had a Black & White Yorkshire Terrier.

Sorry if this offends, but as I live in the UK I can only say what I see everyday walking our streets. We have no (Parti) for sale anywhere on our 'Puppy for Sale' sites, with the exception of one lady adv claiming to sell with IBC reg Biewers. This has been removed, the breeders have acknowledged it was their own creation, mixing Yorkshire to Maltese/Shih-Tzu and more....thus again causing controversy, now in the UK.

Well then I am guessing many of your breeders destroyed these puppies as many here in the states did. If you read any of the old books at the turn of the century, breeders were trying to create a white Yorkie. They were throwing in a number of different breeds.

Yes sadly there have been breeders making designer dogs with the Biewer. In fact there is a club in the states stating their dogs were from this type of breeding.

Hello Everyone,
i am also a new member on here,it is my belief that at the time Mr Biewer bred the 2 said puppies with white in them that he was also breeding the shih tzu,A normal yorkshire terrier does NOT carry the piebald gene,But they get this gene if a shih tzu or maltese terrier is in the mix which is what i believe was done,The uk kennel club have confirmed in the early year's that maltese did indeed go into the yorkshire terrier,They have also confirmed that none of our uk yorkshire terrier's from streamglen have ever had a yorkie born with white in it,As i would of thought as they came from england then we would of had this puppy with this marking white in it so just where did the white in them come from in the later year's,This is where i believe the shih tzu and or maltese terrier was mixed into the yorkshire terrier,I have studdied many many picture's of the biewer/partie/splitter and they scream shih tzu it is very clear to the eye to see this fact.
The money being asked for this breed is extortinate as they are just a man made breed that have been created using other breed's so they are a cross bred dog in my mind.

Could you please provide me with the sources you have, that indicate that "breeders were trying to create a white yorkie" and that "they were throwing in a number of different breeds" (I'm guessing in order to achieve the white yorkie)?"

My research shows that there were breeders who were trying to promote the white yorkshire in the early 1900's. Other references do indicate, over and over, that the maltese was more than likely used to improve the coats of the broken haired scotch terrier (who later became known as the yorkshire terrier)... I've found no proof or writings that say "other breeds" were used in making white yorkies, after they (the yorkshire terrier) actually became a breed.

Breny,

I'm sure even though your husband isn't immeresed in your program, he helps in other ways. He does approve of what your doing. Why else would he offer his handy work to complete those wonderful puppy rooms for you and your pups.

So, even though some spouses may not be thoroughly involved they offer support in one way or another.
