Yorkie vs. Biewer....looking for opinions....

[scrapindee]

Ok here goes:

Abbi following a litter is now 7#
Gabbi following a litter is now 7#
Judy is very pregnant and weighed about 8# before.

Itzi is 23 months weighs 4.25#
Cruiser is 5,5 months weighs 3#
Beauty at 11.5 months is 5# 4oz
Blaze at 7 months is 5# 2oz

Previous Litters:
Conner is 5.5 months weighs 5.5#
Dylan is 4.5 months weighs 2# 9oz
Dusty is 4.5 months weighs 3# 4oz
Danny is 4.5 months weighs 5.5#

I don't think that mine are particularly big. the standard is 4-7# but some should be bigger (girls should be for breeding) and some will be smaller (boys for breeding).

Biewers -- just like yorkies, come in all different sizes and shapes. I've seen or heard of them (as adults) ranging from 3 pounds up to 16 pounds. There may be some smaller, and some larger then that! My Lola, weighs in sopping wet at 5.5 pounds. She's got an adorable little face (my computer with pics is down right now, or I'd send you a pic) Cute perfect little ears, and all the proper colors to make her "within standard." Hope that helps... and helps dispell the myth about their size... seems to be a lot of myths going around now-a-days!

V has been on a roll lately....whats up wit dat??? Just a silly toad collecting/throwing goofball!!!! Love it keep making me laugh!

Yay!!!!!! A question I can answer!!
YorkieMalt,
I may be biased here, but I say GO FOR IT!!! I have a Maltese and added a Yorkie girl and a Biewer boy!!!. They all get along, though it took the Maltese (11.5 yrs old) a bit of time to get used to my Yorkie girl, AprilLove, (and I think that was a female thing). I can give you my experience only but my Nappy (Biewer) has the Yorkie personality without the yorkie "'tude". He is gentle, loving, extremely social and happy to meet everyone and anyone. He loves to play. I have to add that I love the Yorkie"tude" as well in AprilLove. They compliment each other. I can say that he (11 months) and AprilLove (18 months) became instantly bonded when he came home with me. They are inseparable. They get along great, love to play. When one leaves the room, the other has to follow it is sooo cute. I think the weight of Biewers varies like the weight and size of Yorkies. My boy is 4 1/2 lbs, and has been that since he was 7 months. I feel soooo blessed to have learned about this breed and been fortunate enough to find one to love. I could go on and on, but if you want to see how they get along, you can check out some of the videos in my siggy. In the future I do plan to add another Yorkie (boy) and another Biewer (girl). Can you tell I am addicted????

Biewer personality over the yorkie's hands down. I have 2 Biewers.

The biggest difference I see is Biewers just don't come off as seeming
so terrier intense. They are definitely at least compared to my yorkies
more friendly and accepting of things unfamiliar to them such as people,
other animals and environments in general. Where some of the yorkies
are more stubborn natured my biewers seem more willing to please. It's
almost as if they walk around with a smile on their face at how they
just seem to enjoy being part of a family.
If you have the chance to get a Biewer I don't think it's a choice you
would ever regret.

100% agree with this!!!

LOL I totally agree about the "tude" my 4# little biewer guy wouldn't know what that was but my 3# Yorkie girl REALLY does. Little Man is to sweet to ever offend a lady so Bella always gets her way.

If and that's a big IF because you never really know since every dog is an individual but IF a Biewer baby is similar in dispostion to the one's everyone here owns then I can't help but think that baby will fit in my home more comfortably than another yorkie pup.

One last question and I should have asked earlier.....what is the size of your Biewer? I'm under the impression they tend to be on the larger size...am I wrong?

As a lot of people have already pointed out they come in all sizes.

Both of mine are 6 months old and Hanne weighs 3.8 pounds. We
are hoping we can get her to around the 4 pound mark. My vet
does not see her growing much more so that's why I say we are
hoping.

Indigo is a little bigger and he weighs in at 5.2 pounds. I believe
his adult weigh will be right around 6 pounds once he fills out.

I'd say get the biewer!!! The ones that i have met had awesome personalities. I would get one if i could afford it right now. Is the breeder in the area?

[yorkiemalt]

Thank you ALL for the great info! This is going to be a very difficult decision.....

[MyTrixie143]

I say get the biewer!! I have a yorkie, a maltese and I have been wanting a biewer for the longest time!! I think it would be great to have a variety. For me it would me an easy decision.

Good luck with whatever you decide, let us know which one you decide on!!

You know that you can send Nappy to me anytime you get tired of him....
