:::BIEWER::: Don't Judge Me PLEASE! GASP! i have been on this sight for a little while now, but i am fairly new. i've always seen the term "biewer" but never cared to investigate it until now! i have QUESTIONS! are they the same size as regular yorkies? are they something almost like an "albino" person but just in a dog? and THIRD: i now WANT one oh so badly ! ! ! |

To answer your questions simply, no, no, and cool! They are bigger than regular yorkies and they are nothing at all like an albino. there are albinos in every species on earth which is a lack in skin pigmentation. a biewer is made to be a white or white and chocolate colored dog it is NOT albino. albinos are all white including skin and usually nails and have red eyes. biewers are simply a "parti or tri colored" yorkie that is bred way out of the standard and called another name. hope that helps and good luck in finding what you are looking for, even though they are not recognized by the AKC as a dog breed, i agree they are very cute and hard not to want :p |

They are beautiful dogs , just be careful in choosing a puppy if you decide to do so. There is alot to learn before one jumps right in and buys one. |

But I just wanted to make clear that the above statement is not true :) biewers (bred by responsible breeders) are bred to a standard, and just like Yorkies, some are bigger, some are smaller than standard :) A Biewer standard does not call for Chocolate coloring, but Blue/black, white and gold/tan. With white being the only part of the standard coloring that is different from traditional Yorkies :) |

i appologize. i didn't realize there was a standard for this dog. sorry. but as i am aware they are not recognized by the AKC so in my personal opinion a breed standard doesn't matter if you are looking to the AKC for a breed recognition. they do not accept this as a dog breed and it's standard isn't an AKC standard. beautiful yes, an AKC dog breed NO.

Just to clarify, I never stated they were recognized by AKC. But they are recognized and shown by the NAKC (North American Kennel Club) and the IABCA (International All Breed Canine Association), along with many other breeds :) The AKC is not the only legitimate Kennel Club in America :) The Biewer is a Breed and does have a standard and is shown as such ;) |
AKC does not set any breed's standard. That is set by either the parent breed club or in some cases...the country of origin of the particular breed. |

They are fairly new that's why they aren't AKC recognized but they sure are recognized by other kennel clubs so yes they DO have a standard. |

LOL- I know what you mean. I hadn't heard of them before YT. But now I want one of those and a parti and .... They are like potato chips, can't have just one and you want to try all the flavors! |
They really are beautiful. I had never heard of one until I joined YT either... and REALLY want one :) Maybe in a few years time when I get my own place Poppy can have a biewer brother or sister :D |

BTCA (Biewer Terrier Club of America) is an affiliation that I looked for when I was picking out a Biewer puppy. There was an excellent thread about the difference between a Biewer and a Parti also in this section. We're on a waiting list for a Biewer; our little boy will be here at the end of October or first of November. I'm hoping for great health, first of all, and I'm a fan of the tri-colored ones (with brown, blueish-black, and white, especially in their crown area). The breeder's sire and dam had this feature with silky coats. I noticed some puppies that I looked at were very similar to a Parti, yet their tails were long. :animal-pa |

I was talking to a Biewer breeder and she said both here and in Germany they are trying to get the Biewer to be known as...American Biewer and in Germany they want to use to Germna Biewer...no terrier used. They hope at some point to be recognized by AKC. AS to size..I have a friend with 3 and 4 pounders only. I am not a Biewer breeder, but admire the pure Biewer. |

[QUOTE=Hazelzmibaybee;3250946]yes they definitely look to be the size of a yorkie. i am going to get one as my next dog! i have a feeling that finding one is going to be hard. i may have to travel to get one![/QUOTE] me too.....travel far and probably sell a kidney for the money! |

I agree with the smiley faces of Deb and MK.. they both have beautiful Biewers.. the sizes (as well as structure, personality, character etc) of the Biewer is to be the same as that of a Yorkie.. the only difference is in the coloring.. the same is true with the AKC Parti Yorkie (however the Parti usually has a docked tail as the Yorkie where the Biewers are undocked). You will however see Biewers of all sizes, just as you see Yorkies of all sizes.. the biewer has been in this country a very short time.. I know one of the things that breeders are trying to work on is more consistency in the sizes of the pups at maturity.. this, as all good things do .. takes time but I feel we are getting there. I would also like to know what the poster means by a Pure Biewer ?? Do you believe some are mixed with other breeds? Diana :animal-pa |

They are urging the words Terrier or Yorkshire not to be connected with the American Biewer...they want them AKC recognized with a set standard and eligible to show AKC.. |

I didn't post anything about a pure Biewer, but I would assume that they are referring to a Biewer dam and a Biewer sire? There is a lot of controversy about breeding a Biewer to a Yorkie, or a Biewer to a Parti. There are pros and cons to each side of the argument. Breeding a Biewer to a Biewer focuses more on the appearance, and people in favor of "crossbreeding" (but they are all Yorkies) focus on improving the health. |
