I do know the Biewer breed has been determined to be genetically different from the Yorkshire Terrier breed and has been accepted in the ARBA

Parti Yorkies have coloration randomly. Biewers have an established pattern and strict standard. Perhaps this should be moved to a new thread? I love discussing the breeds....BTW I still have my heart tied to Yorkies and can't live without them.

| yorkies are the best Personnaly I Prefere The Traditionnal Look Yorkie, Because Of The Espectacular Colors : Gold And Silver, Blonde And Tan. They Are So Unique, If I Want A White Dog, I Will Choose A Maltese. Please No Offense Because I Like All The Small Dogs And The Biewer Is Also Beautiful. |

We probably could start a new thread.... The MARS test has established Biewers as a separate breed from the Yorkie. Thus, it could be accepted into ARBA. Three show clubs/venues/ organizations lead the way into AKC and ARBA is one of them. The other two are UKC and FSS. The Biewer Terrier Club of America (BTCA) is serious about testing and discovering the heritage of the Biewers. | |

My thoughts about the overall look... I have a Biewer. If I was able to change the colors in Gus' pictures I doubt anyone here would ever guess he wasn't a yorkie and I know other Biewer owners that have said the same about their own. In the real world, the white sometimes confuses people but I've never had anyone mistake him for a Maltese. I've heard, "I thought he was a yorkie but wasn't sure because of the white" so many times I've lost count. There is even a breeder here that has a yorkie in her avatar that looks so much like Gus to me it's amazing. If you were to compare the standards you would see the Yorkie and Biewer are described almost the same. The general appearance, size and shape of the skulls, eyes, and ears, the set of the ears, the length of the muzzle, the body, (other than the color) the coat, and so on. There is very little difference between the two standards, so if bred correctly, they should look alike. Wait until you see more of them in person and I think you'll change your mind about the look. Just my two cents.

| With the color obviously he wouldn't be mistaken for a Maltese. I meant even part Maltese.

| I remember when you posted his picture asking if you thought he was possibly a mix. While I thought he was adorable, I did think he might be. He is the first Biewer I've seen with ears down like a Maltese. He is not quite what Biewers usually look like so I agree he might look different if his ears were up but with them down he does resemble a Maltese.

| I personally prefer the Yorkie 100%. I wanted one over a decade before I got her. They're so feminine and pretty. Biewers look(to me) like a large fluffy mix dog. If I didn't know from reading YT and saw one, I'd assume it was just a mixed breed dog. For some reason they always seem so much larger too(maybe their hair if fluffier?) Now on the other hand, I think chocolate yorkies are adorable. To each their own

Well anyone can choose to believe what they want about the MARS test. 40 Biewers have been tested and they can and do go back further than 3 generations. As far as: Does not do coat color, genetic diseases, coat length, color patterns etc.... have you found a source that provides this information??? I know every one reading this is curious. | |
