The Biewer (pronounced Bee-vair), also called the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier, Biewer Terrier and the Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon, is a rare breed of toy dog which originated in Germany.
History
The original Biewer was a mutation or sport in a litter of Yorkshire terriers bred in Germany by Werner and Gertrude Biewer in 1982, producing one puppy with a large amount of white. The Biewers bred the first blue, white, and golden Biewer Yorkshire, "Schneeflocken von Friedheck", in 1984. Mr. Biewer first showed the dogs as black-and-white Yorkshire terriers in 1988. Excessive amounts of white disqualified the dogs from being bred under the rules of the VDH (the German Kennel Club.) The dogs were then registered with another registry, not as Yorkshire terriers but as Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon.[1]
The Biewer Breed Club International, founded in March 2006, is the first International club whose breed order eliminates the practice of breeding Yorkshire Terriers into the Biewer lines. They say "Paramount is the protection of the Biewer standard as it was originally written by the founder of the breed, Mr. Werner Biewer." [2]
In 2007 the The Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc. decided to disallow Yorkshire Terrier to Biewer Terrier breeding in order to produce a purebred breed of Biewer Terrier.[3]
Standard
The breed standard, written by Mr. Biewer in 1989, is the same as that of the Yorkshire Terrier, with the exception of the colour requirement. The exact colour and pattern requirements vary among the different Biewer clubs.
