What is the difference between a Parti Yorkie and a Biewer Please enlighten me, I am confused. I read the background on the Biewer yorkies and went to the biewerbci.org. I read on this site that a Biewer must be breed to a Biewer. If I am correct Biewers are not recognized by the AKC but only by the Biewer Clubs. So here is where I get confused. What is a parti and how can it be AKC? When I went to the akc website and read the standard it says any white other than the small mark on the chest is a disqualification. It only gives the choices of blue/gold, blue/tan, black/gold, and black/tan. So how are people registering these dogs? And are they breeding parti to parti? I would love to know I think these dogs are all beautiful. Thanks for the clarification. I did a search and couldn't find it. |
Parti's are yorkies with a color fault and yes if the breeding pair is AKC registered...so may the puppies. This disqualification is in relation to showing. They can't be shown. Some breed parti to parti...and some breed parti to carriers. The latter doesn't always produce parti colored puppies. Biewers originated in Germany and aren't recognized by AKC. They have been accepted into rare breed groups and are allowed to be shown there. |
There's lots of threads, when you do a search go to the bottom of the page, and it gives you the option to do a "google search of Yorkietalk". For some reason the Yorkietalk search won't include words that are too short for example "parti" or too long, for example "pancreatitis" so doing the google search of Yorkietalk is the best way to find related threads. Remember choose Yorkietalk and not the Web. To answer your question, Parti is a nickname given to Yorkshire terriers who have the off colors. They are just registered under a color code number not by the actual name of Parti. |
Thanks, bchgirl. I love all of this info it is so interesting. So, they can't show a parti but it can be registered. So what do you mark on the box for color on the registration papers? Another fun question. What do you get when you breed a parti yorkie to a regular yorkie? Can those pups be shown if they look like the regular yorkie? Hmmm.... |
Also, the Biewer keeps their long tail where the Parti has theirs docked. The Biewer also has a standard for placement of colors, such as on the face, legs, chest etc...but the Parti has no standard for colors. |

Color code for Parti color is 014 and their papers say that they are Yorkshire Terrier "Bl & Gld Prti" |

Breeding Parti to a regular yorkie will produce all parti carriers. Yes, you can show them as long as their white markings are under the 1" max allowed. Some of my carriers were well under the 1" max. |
Biewer terriers are called just that, not biewer yorkshire terriers, they're their own breed. Hopefully one day, they will be AKC.. |
Oh, thank you so much for all your answers. I know a good yorkie usually runs about $900-$3,000. What does a Biewer run? Or a Parti? I know there is the occasional extreme priced pup and price difference due to location, but I would like a general price range. Is a $4,500 Parti overpriced? |
So Glad I am so glad you asked that question lilyorkiemomma. I was going to ask the same thing today but I got called away from my computer. I was talking to my daughter about Biewers and Parti's and she asked me the difference and I told her I would ask the question on here. Thank you:) |

Thanks Nancy. This breeder just told me she paid $6,000 for her Parti yorkies and she thought $4,500 was cheap. I thought Biewers were supposed to be more expensive than Parti yorkies. :) |
One more thing I just thought of but didn't put in my earlier post is that the Biewer is a pretty laid back dog...not so terrier like. Mine aren't barkers, they are very friendly to everyone, not withdrawn or shy like some Yorkies can be. I love the laid back personality of my Biewers...so different than any of the Yorkies I've every owned. As for the price, well, I think the prices are all over the board for Biewers and Parti's but I have found the Parti's to be more. Maybe because they are AKC? My Biewers are dual registered...in Germany and the U.S...but I'm in no hurry to get the Biewer into the AKC. |

The Biewer is a toy breed dog, a companion dog. The Biewer has an excellent temperment, a tail, and a tale of three of Rare Breed Venues. Once you meet a Biewer, you can't go back... |
DQ is in showing. If a parti-yorkie is bred from two AKC registered blue/gold, blue/tan, etc. yorkshire terriers- then, yes, it can be registered with the AKC. The dog will not be able to participate in confirmation, however. Though, most AKC breeders breed to standard- and, since they know genetics, will rarely; if ever; get a parti. |

Hmm... well, the AKC is pretty confusing with their standards and their rules. But, I imagine if both parti's have AKC papers then the puppies could be AKC registered. I've never known anyone to breed partis together, though. So, I could be wrong. |

You can not only go back...you have to have MORE. |
Thank you everyone for all of your input. I have been reading much more on the internet and trying to find out as much as possible. My DH and I find it very interesting. How do you pronounce Biewer? Is is like Beaver or Beavair or something completely different. Also, what is the coat texture like on a Biewer and a parti? Does a Biewer have a silky yorkie like coat or is it more soft? Is a Parti coat silky? Thanks |

Biewer standard calls for silk coats, but you see a lot of soft coats. Reggie's coat is very very soft and his coat is much thicker than my yorkies. No clue on the parti coat. I would assume the preference would be silk. |
Are you in DC? |
Thanks for the pronunciation. My DH and I were trying to figure it out and laughed everytime we tried to pronounce it different ways. LOL I live in Washington State. Know any Biewer breeders near me? ;) |
We call the dog a Biewer Terrier because Biewer is the name of the man that created the breed and Terrier is the type of dog it is. We have proven that the Biewer is a breed of its own and not a Yorkshire Terrier. A magazine as prestigious as Top Notch Toys certainly validates its articles before publishing them, wouldn't you think? The Parti breeders say they have Yorkshire Terriers with a recessive piebald gene and so does the bbci. Now if the bbci says they have a Yorkshire Terrier with a mutant piebald gene, then what is their foundation for the breed being a separate breed? They say they are holding true to the long term goals of the originator of this wonderful breed, then why did they change the name? Why did they add black to the standard. There's 2 contradictions right there. |
