I happen to love the classic Yorkie ...but then again if you were to get a gorgeous little Biewer with that same look in the face as our yorkies have then I say go for it - there's just something about Yorkies I just love - but I wouldn't say no to a Biewer either - then again - with the dogs you already have a Biewer would be a nice addition - BUT - a yorkie may be a better playmate for Phoebie - at the same time - she may be jealous of a yorkie so maybe a Biewer is a better choice

DIDJA GET ALL THAT ???


now.... what did I just say ?????

Wow you really cleared it up and made it an easy decision! LOL

and one day you can explain that twice removed stuff - I never did understand it

[ashley809]

You two are hilarious!

Not only did she demote you to a COUSIN from an auntie... but a TWICE REMOVED cousin.

Geez... I'd written up a post on this -- and then my computer or the server lost it out there in la la land...

Just to let you know... I have a yorkie boy (5 years old) and a Biewer girl (15 months old) and I will never regret the decision to get a Biewer! She's definitely special! There are times when she's quite mellow... I have flown quite a bit with her and I don't hear a peep from her whether my flight is 1 hour or 5 + hours. I can hand her to almost anyone, and she will snuggle up and chill until I can get back to her. Unfortunately, Toby isn't quite as easy to do that with -- and he complains when he's in his carrier on the plane. At the same time... Lola can be hell on 4 legs... she loves to play and instigate. Then she looks at you with those eyes and wags her tail and it just makes you melt. Can't be mad at her for more then a second -- no matter what she gets into!

I would like to say -- the breeder you go through is very important! And that's with any breed of dog you buy! There is a huge difference when your breeder socializes those puppies -- both with human and dog interface! I have seen these little ones from both situations, and there is a world of difference. Spend lots of time talking with the breeder and get to know them. Half the time I was on the phone talking with mine... I just sat and listened. She talked more to the dogs and puppies then she did me in a lot of our conversations.

Didn't mean to write a book... but MOST people with Biewers that I've met seem to have that passion. But beware... several people that I know can't just stop at one! If I could, I'd have a dozen running around here!!! I love my Toby, and will probably always have a yorkie around... but I'll also have at least one Biewer, as well!

Good luck with your decision and whatever you decide... please share pics of your new baby!

i have 2 yorkies and 1 biewer. Both have their strong points.

My biewer wants to be friends with everyone! He was a great addition to our family. He gets along with all the other dogs. He is VERY active. As far as a cuddler.. Not so much. When he wants attention he will be but for the most part he just wants you to be within sight. He hates to be alone!!

My yorkies like almost everyone. They are somewhat picky about the dogs they want to be friends with. They are bigger cuddlers than my biewer. They have to be in your lap or sleeping on you.

Both are equally good at giving kisses tho! whatever you decide i'm sure you will be happy. Just make sure to check out the breeder and ask all the right questions!! i would love to get another biewer within a year so i can have two of each. but i think i'll be shot if i bring another one home!

Thanks for reposting...I've had that happen several times and it's always when it's a longer post...

And I hear ya....took me awhile to get to this point but I feel the same exact way....the breeder is very important. I do feel very comfortable with the one I spoke to.

I think she has done everything within her power to guarantee a healthy litter and her love for the breed is apparent.

I have a yorkie and a maltese also If I had the option to get a yorkie or a biewer, I don't know what I would do!! I would probably get a yorkie, just because that is my preference, but I love biewers too...A yorkie, a maltese, and a biewer would probably all complement each other nicely though They would look so beautiful. I have read that biewers are more energetic than yorkies, but some of the members on here who have responded to this thread say that their biewers are pretty calm. So I guess it really depends on the dog. Wow, this is a tough decision!! Good luck, and let us know what you decide!! I'm so excited for you!

Well, if there's 2 Yorkies, and only 1 maltese, your maltese would feel out of place

I'd get a biewer so that you have a wide variety of dogs.

I know - she's coldhearted isn't she ?

[rnnw62]

This is a very good question! I am a standard Yorkie convert...I have
2 yorkie boys that I love with all my heart so don't get me wrong, but
since taking the plunge into Biewer ownership I really do prefer the
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.

[scrapindee]

While it of course is a personal decision, I think the Biewers are a wonderful breed. They aregentler and friendlier than any other other breed I've been aquainted with. As a group they play well together and independently. I think Living Dust Mops and Toby'sMama summed it up well.

[yorkiemalt]

Thank You all.....I'm finding all these opinions really helpful.

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?
