Difference between a Tri-Colored (Parti) and a Biewer
 

We have 2 Tri-Colored AKC Registered Yorkies. 1 Male and 1 Female... I keep getting people coming up to me and saying the our Beiwer Yorkies are so cute. I understand the Biewer Yorkies are not AKC recognized so what's the difference? I have posted a picture of all 4... From L to R we have Prada (5 mos), Gucci (2), Louis Vuitton (1) and on my should is Coco Chanel (3)... Louis & Prada are brother and sister. Coco & Gucci are sisters.

From what I have read there is some controversy about the subject. Maybe the breeder section could help you.

I just wanted to say they are all beautiful!

From what I understand Biewers were bred in Germany , Mr. Biewer got the tri color to show up and with selective breeding made a pattern of color placement. His goal was to make a separate breed. I spoke with some of the members from BTRA , the claim that they now have evidence showing genetic markers separating a yorkie from a biewer similar to the difference of a yorkie from a Maltese. ( that's where the controversy is) So the rule is, you breed biewer to biewer only. There is a very specific color placement in their standard.

Parti yorkies are A k c because they are a tricolor yorkie. There are no color placement standards. They are bred with other yorkies.

I mean I can see both sides here. Biewers are descendants from yorkies! So why does there need to be a difference. But dont forget that yorkies were not created spontaneously. Yorkies were developed in England by breeding multiple breeds together. That's why there is such a variety that pops out from the standard. My opinion is that mr Biewer tapped into a genetic sequence that he then genetically engineered from selective breeding. He got a dog that displayed different physical and social characteristics. That's not a surprise really, and then got it registered in Germany ( since he is German ).

New breed or yorkie i really dont care! I think both types are amazing! If you want a personality similar to a yorkie, go for a parti. If you want a personality of a Biewer go for that. My breeder has breed and showed yorkies for 10+ years and switched over to biewers for the last 10+ years. She has both still and says there is a very big difference in their personalities.

I have a parti yorkie, and I love him because he is different!

I know I was told that the Biewers are a little calmer....hehe...some days I wonder cause my almost 2 year old Biewer is still a going concern.

I heard that too, but then again my dad has a Yorkie and he is the calmest sweetest little man

I have a Parti Yorkie and I too have wondered about the difference. I see pictures of dogs that say they are Biewers but they look exactly like my Parti. ???

I love my parti girl!!

I would recommend doing a search on the subject, this has already has some lengthy and heated debates about it.

Not super sure but I think a standard biewer should have three colors on their face, from your photo she seemed gold and white only? That's really the only reason I went after the biewer originally because I really liked the color pattern. However Biewer or parti... If I see them I'm snuggling them

:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: Biewers have diverged enough from Yorkies genetically that they can be distinguished from Yorkies by genetic testing. Here is a link to a thread about the differences between Biewers and Parti-colored Yorkies:

My baby is a biewer terrier they are yorkie but it's kinda there own wing main difference is the name they come from Germany they keep the tails and they are ibc reg. instead of akc also can be ckc mines dual reg both ibc and ckc they can't be akc cause akc sees them as not a breed by there self. In short Party yorkies are just normal yorkies with white coloration , biewer terriers are from Germany have tails and the white coloration and only biewers from germany or parents from germany with ibc reg can be ibc reg.
