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
seems oblivious of its small size. It is ever eager for adventure.
This little dog is highly energetic, brave, and clever. Intelligent, loyal and very devoted to their human family. They are fun loving, making them a great companion for all ages. Affectionate with
its master. Can be difficult to housebreak. Any negative behavior issues one may experience with this dog is a direct result of the humans, not the breed. Dogs lacking in leadership can become suspicious of strangers and aggressive to
strange dogs and small animals. Dogs who believe they are alpha may also become a barker, as it tries to tell YOU what to do. Biewers are easy to train,
although they can sometimes be stubborn if owners do not give the dog proper boundaries. The Biewer is an excellent watchdog. When owners display pack leadership to the Biewer, they are very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children. Those who recommend them for older, considerate children do so simply because they are so small, some people allow them to get away with behaviors no dog should be allowed. Allowing this will change any dog's temperament, as the dog starts to take over the house. They will become demanding and dependant
and need a lot of human attention, insisting on walking in front of you during your walks. Eventually they may become snappish if
surprised, frightened or over-teased. They can also become over-protective, and become neurotic. This breed has a true terrier heritage. Problems only arise when owners, because of the dogs cute little size, allow them to take over the house. The human will not even realize it, however know, if you have any of the negative behaviors listed above, it's time to look into your pack leader skills. These are truly sweet little dogs who need owners who understand how to give them gentle leadership. If you own a Biewer who does not display any of the negative behaviors, high five for being a good pack leader!

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.
Various clubs are working to change the original standard of the dog and also it's original name. The clubs are trying to get the dogs called a Biewer Terrier. Some breeders disagree with this stating that is NOT the breed's name. The Biewer Yorkshire ala Pom Pon can be called Biewer or Biewer Yorky. |
