Description |
The Biewer is that of a long-haired toy
terrier whose hair hangs evenly and quite straight down the side of the body,
and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail. The animal should be very
compact and neat. the tail should be carried up. The outlines should give the
impression of the powerful and well proportioned body. The hair on the body has
a length ¾ down the sides of the dog, or long
enough to reach the ground, and is absolutely straight (not wooly), shiny like
silk and of fine silky texture, without an undercoat. Coloring of the coat of
the trunk and the head piece are as follows; rather white or blue-white broken
or closely blue absolutely, or black, without brown coloring. Hair on the
breast, pure white on the belly, and the legs. The head with white-blue-gold,
symmetrical colored. |

Temperament |
The Biewer Yorkie
seems oblivious of its small size. It is ever eager for adventure and trouble.
This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. Affectionate with
its master, but sometimes suspicious of strangers. It can be aggressive to
strange dogs and small animals. In other words, it has true Terrier heritage.
They do best with older, considerate children. Biewer Yorkies are easy to train,
although they can sometimes be stubborn. The breed is demanding and dependant
and needs a lot of human attention. The Biewer Yorkie is an excellent watchdog,
defending its territory in no uncertain manner. They can get snappish if
surprised, frightened or over-teased, but are usually very sweet and loving.
They can be difficult to housebreak. These little dogs should not be
over-protected, for they may become neurotic. The Biewer Yorkie likes to bark, but it
can easily be taught not to do so.
Being a toy companion breed the Biewer is
happy sitting in your lap or playing. |

Living Conditions |
The Biewer can live in an apartment if it
gets enough exercise. They are fairly active indoors and will do okay without a
yard. |
|
Exercise |
These are active little dogs,
who need a daily walk.
Play will take care of a lot of their exercise needs, however, as with all
breeds, it will not fulfill their primal instinct to walk. Dogs who do not get
to go on daily walks are more likely to display behavior problems. They will
also enjoy a good romp in a safe open area off lead, such as a large fenced in
yard. |
|
Life Expectancy |
About 12-15 years |
|
Grooming |
As a
companion most owners prefer to have this breed in a "perpetual puppy cut". A
bath at home about every two to three weeks will maintain a healthy coat, if it
is combed out with a wire
comb once a week.
Show Coat: The Biewer will develop a coat that reaches the ground. Some breeders
rap the coat to produce a very impressive elegant floor length coat for the show
ring. |

Origin |
The Biewer Yorkie was originally a piebald
genetic recessive gene occurrence from 2 Yorkshire Terriers. It originated in
Germany on January 20, 1984 from a breeding by
Gertrude and Werner Biewer's Yorkshire Terriers. In this particular litter they
produced a piebald Yorkie puppy from a genetic recessive gene.
This piebald puppy's registered name was Schneefloeckchen von Friedheck ( Snowflake) Sire: Darling von Friedheck a FCI
World Junior Champion in Dortmund in 1981 Dam: Fru-Fru von Friedheck a FCI World
Junior Championess in Dortmund in 1981. Gertrude and Werner Biewer found
this puppy to be quite beautiful and began a selective breeding process to
produce more piebald puppies. Gertrude and Werner Biewer named these Yorkie with
white markings "Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon". It was from these breedings the
Biewer Yorkie was developed. The breed was officially recognized
in 1986 by the ACH ( allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschland - ACH-L e. V
).
Today Yorkshire Terriers and
Biewers are considered two different breeds. Against the wishes of some of the Biewer clubs, some American
breeders are importing Biewers and crossing them with the
Yorkshire Terriers and calling them Biewer Yorkies. The clubs state, "Breeding back to the Yorky is a big no no, as purebred is NOT achieved by breeding with another breed."
A hybrid breeder, who mixes the Biewer and the Yorkie states, "There can be Biewer and Yorkshire color puppies in a single
litter, but only in the F2 Generation. In the F1 generation; if you breed a
Biewer and a Yorkshire , you get only Yorkshire color puppies (black and tan).
If you keep a puppy and breed this again to a true Biewer (3 generation Biewer)
you will get Biewer and Yorkshire puppies. If you keep again a puppy no matter
if Yorkie color or Biewer; and breed this again to a Biewer you get only Biewer
puppies." Find out more about multi-generation crosses.
The BTCA is working to change the original standard of the dog and also it's original name. The club is trying to get the dogs called a Biewer Terrier. Other clubs disagree with this stating that is NOT the breed's name. The Biewer Yorkshire ala Pom Pon can be called Biewer or Biewer Yorky. |
