Firstly, the biewers look pretty cool so... not picking sides, I can only relay what I'm reading. The above link brings you to AKC, it states biewers and other FSS breeds are not registerable at AKC. They are "recordable" but not "registerable" at AKC.
https://www.akc.org/breeds/fss_breeds.cfm

Some AKC events exclude biewers, if I'm interpreting this correctly. https://www.akc.org/reg/fss_companion_events.cfm
Biewers are approved for "companion events" but not all events.

Just interesting little tid bits of info that I love picking up here at YT. Thanks for that link!

I don't expect to ever own another AKC registered dog, I don't rule it out either. I am intermittently searching for a companion for our elderly yorkie. One hope is to give him sort of a play mate and other various reasons.

If indeed, biewers are not registerable at AKC, then where do they register? A national breed club... AKC provides a link to: Biewer Terrier Registry Welcome

Biewer Terrier Registry offers this explanation: "The Biewer Terrier is a purebred of its own and not a Yorkshire Terrier. The BTRA is the only registry set up for the Biewer Terrier breed and feel it is important for the foundation we are developing in America to reflect the correct name for recognition as a breed of its own."

So, in summary, if someone breeds or shows a biewer... I would think A. register with Biewer Terrier Registry, B. record at AKC FSS, C. Lose the yorkie "title", "The Biewer Terrier is a breed of it's own." Embrace it and be proud of it! It's a gorgeous dog! :thumbup:

There are two very different opinions on that though, both very strong both with passionate people on both sides.

This page offered a few tid bits of knowledge on the subject.
Parti/Biewer Difference? - Quality Traditional and Parti Yorkshire Terriers

It's presentation is a little jumbled but it does offer basis for both sides...

I absolutely agree with your statement. I'm just not one of those people. I don't care if people say Biewer Terrier or Biewer Yorkie. Hell, I say Biewer Terrier and my oldest son says Biewer Yorkie because that's how we first learned about them and that's what has stuck with him. Granted, he's only seven, but I don't see him changing any time soon. Lol.

Registery
 

The Biewers register with the (BBIR) Biewer Breed International Registery that has been in existence for about 8 tears. Some clubs/individuals still register in Germany with IBC. most rare breed breeders do not like CKC--canine kennel club.

Mark there are two major groups . . The Biewer aLa Pom or Biewer (my Galen is ) . And the Biewer Terrier group.

The simplest explanation is The Biewer group believes that they are from Yorkies and the Biewer Terrier group believes they are a mixed dog.

And as you posted only the Biewer Terrier group is AKC FSS.
The Biewers are BBIR

It is also important to understand that the Biewer is NOT and American Breed. This is a dog that originated in Germany and is in many parts of Europe and other areas of the world. What a small group of Americans do or think has little significance to what the rest of the world does. The majority of the world believes the Biewer ala Pom Pon is a pure bred dog that comes from a yorkie. Many still breed back to the yorkie, however in this country, many breeders believe in breeding only Biewer to Biewer.

Thanks...
History Seems to state the least controversial summarized history of the Biewer. It's a fairly new and unique breed for sure!

Read all 5 pages,. just wondering how your pup is dong?


We live in Florida, and been watching her site, as were looking for a Biewer possibly to go along with our 8 month old male yorkie


Biewers are hard to find, and pricey. I been looking now for several months at them and Parti's

I had looked originally for a Yorkie before I fell in love with the Biewers. The price difference in not too much of a differnce from a reputable breeder . . If you are looking for reputable Biewer breeders. Please contact me. I will give you a list of the ones I have.

Pm sent, thanks! We been looking for several months. But wanted a reputable breeder to choose from.

Yes. I bought a biewer yorkie from terry two years ago. She is the best yorkie I have ever had. I have had two others in years past from other breeders and they were not nearly as good dogs as this one is. I found Terry to be most helpful and wonderful to deal with. Mandy is a much better dog than we ever expected. I am in Frisco Texas. If you would like to know more call me at 214-668-3973.

her phone number does not work? I just tried to call. I am interested in a puppy as well

I would do research before going with that breeder.

Hello I'm new to the site .I also have a puppy from Terry she is the most adorable and spoiled little girl . She's full of energy .
