| Google it. They are gorgeous! I have yet to meet one in "person" but I can't wait to. They are imported from German and are a cousin (best way to explain it) to yorkshires. They are not yorkies nor are they a variation of yorkie. They are their own breed. But yet to be recognized by AKC. Oh wish/hope they will be soon! |

my yorkie is a splitter. She has a biewer mother and a yorkie father so she is considered a carrier of the biewer colors with a single recessive piebald gene. You wouldnt know it by looking at her tho.

Biewers came from two traditional colored yorkies who both carried the recessive spotting gene called the Irish spotting gene, which produces a consistent and predictable spotting pattern. Biewers have their own breed standard and set color pattern because they were ineligible for registration with the official breed kennel club/registry so they began their own club and registry. Parti's follow the breed standard set by the YTCA (with the exception of their coloring) and most parti's have the piebald spotting gene which produces random and unpredictable spotting - thus they don't have a "set color" pattern standard. Parti's are eligible for registration with the AKC but are banned from showing in AKC conformation classes, due to their off standard coloring.

| These dogs are gorgeous but are really hard to come by. There doesn't even seem to be a breeder in the UK yet?

My understanding the UK's strict import laws plays a role in that.
