| Biewer Here goes! "Biewer" is a german name - and pronouncing it in the German way would make it Bee Var' Is this reasonably close to the way it should be pronounced?????? Those of you who have been to Germany to see these dogs (and have heard their name pronounced in German) should certainly know. And - one of the doctors I work for is German - I'll ask him too. Why didn't I think of that earlier!!!! Thanks - Carol Jean |

| I think you are right. If I am not mistaken Sue from Magnolias Magnificient Yorkies said this is how it is pronounced. |

| Yep, that's the correct pronunciation but I still can't bring myself to call my guy beavers! So I just put a little spin on it to Americanize it, just like many German names throughtout the years have done. My maiden name was Wiesner, in German it would have been Viesner, but here we just pronounced it with the "W" instead of the "V". So I still call my guys, "Bie weirs" it sounds a little better to my ears. ...
