How do you explain your biewer?

[kdreamson]

Well, Mickey is a beautiful BEEVA yorkie! My mabel looks just like a black & tan yorkie but when we go out folks still ask what kind of dog she is!

OMG I have had those looks to. Then when I say it is a beaver they just about hit the floor laughing.

From what MK says, it sounds like maybe some of them remember their native German. But, neither Maddox or Jordy have an accent that I can hear.

I love saying the Be-vair because when I speak German, (only know a couple words, teehee) Nappy does all sorts of funny things with his ears, its soooo CUTE!!! I think he remembers the language

If they ask "what are they mixed with? " then I go into the history as I understand it and the eyes start to glaze over, lol

That was a secret I never wanted you to know, MK!! I felt guilty when I finally figured out I'd been saying her name wrong. Usually I just think of them all as "MK's gorgeous babies."

OMG, LOL!! Those vids cracked me up, I will be hearing that Germans lady's voice in my head alllll day now! .."Mickey you ARE a Biva Yorkshire Terrier..Biva, rhymes with Diva"

This is my first post and I am a Biewer mom as well. My girl, Brianna is 16 wks. Till now I have been a lurker on the forum, but the pronunciation part of this thread got the better of me (lol) I have a friend, (another Biewer mom) who pronounces it Bee-Veer and my breeder pronounced it Bee-Vay. How does Mrs. Biewer pronounce it?
When asked about Bri's breed, I say that she is a German breed, not commonly seen in the US. If they are interested I will go further.

Welcome to YT!! I love the name Brianna. Hope you'll share some pictures of her with us.

That's a good question. I wonder how Mrs. Biewer does pronounce it?

I agree, love the name Brianna. Welcome to YT, GemInspector.

This is more confusing than the correct pronunciation of Porsche.

Pronunciation of "Porsche"
In English use, Porsche is often pronounced as a single syllable (/ˈpɔrʃ/), without a final /ə/. However, the company's proper pronunciation is /ˈpɔrʃə/ POR-shə[45] ("Porsha"), as German language words do not have silent "e".

So, You pronounce it Bee-vah? instead of B-you-er?
Interesting...I always wondered the correct way to pronounce it. I'd LOVE to have one...they are beautiful! One day when I decide it's time for a sibling for my two.......

[bailie]

Same here. Someone always says--are they Yorkies? And I say they are like firrst cousins to the Yorkies but they keep their tails, have wonderful temperments, and different coloration.
