| Here we go From what I am learning... There is no difference between the Parti Yorkshire Terrier (Parti is just a color, Yorkshire Terrier is the breed) and the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Ala pon pom (Biewer being color, Yorkshire Terrier being the breed and the name Ala Pon Pom being an addition to the name given loving to the dog by the breeder in Germany). One, the Parti originated here in the states and the other the Biewer, in Germany. I put this out there but I am still learning!!!! |

| Also I should add, it is my understanding, both colors (Parti and Biewier) were created by a spontaneous gene mutation which created the unique color pattern in the yorkshire terrier. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | Lots of people believe there's a very big difference between the biewer and the parti. The Biewer may have started out a Parti, but Mr. Biewer bred hundred of dogs through selective breeding and developed a strain of Yorkie with specific traits and markings. It sounds like he had a specific thought, and was breeding for a purpose, beyond selling pets. Unfortunately he died, and his dogs have gone off in many directions. I would not advise you purchasing a dog from a Biewer breeder who didn't think they was a difference, that means that they really haven't done their homework and are not breeding for the purpose of betterment of the breed, but only because the Biewer is popular now. I would look into the clubs, and find a club that matched my beliefs in breeding, since Biewers can't be registered with the AKC, you will have to carefully screen the registries they do use. Beware of the Biewer breeder who also breeds part's they are watering down both lines, and it's a sure sign they they are selling for profit only. Partis, are a multicolored yorkie with the recessive gene,, they have no standard other than the normal yorkie standard, so it may be difficult to know if you are getting a good representative of the breed. One trait breeders often just breed for that particular trait and overlook other important qualities so in this case too, you have to be very careful to find a breeding who understands the necessity of health testing, both parti's and biewers have been interbred, a lot, and this makes them more susceptible to certain conditions. Find a breeder that knows this and tests for it.

This too is my understanding and why now we have the Biewer Terrier which IS totally different from the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier Ala Pon pom and the parti Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer Terrier is a beautiful dog which through genetic studies we are learning more about. |

| The partis are not interbred as much as the Biewers because they have a large gene pool to breed back to, the yorkshire terrier. |
