Biewer
Yorkshire Terriers
History of the Biewer Yorkie:
 The
Biewer Yorkie originated in Germany in 1984 and was a belted/banded
genetic recessive gene occurrence exhibiting a specific banded/stripped
offspring reportedly produced by Gertrud and Werner Biewer's Yorkshire
Terriers. The sire and dam of the first recognized Biewer Yorkie
were reportedly "Darling of Friedheck" and "Frufru
of Friedheck" .
The Biewer's saw this little dog with it's white markings as
extraordinarily attractive and began the selective breeding process
to produce more. The Biewer's named these little dogs with their
white base coat "Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon". Thus
the beginning of the Biewer Yorkies as we know them today.
The first German Biewer Yorkshire club was established on May
24, 2003.
The Biewer Yorkie was recognized as a breed unto itself long before
this date though when the general public recognized it unofficially
as a breed.
The Biewer Yorkshire is bred, registered and shown in other
countries and is on the top of the popularity list for the United
States. Few registries in the United States as this date have
acknowledge the Biewer Yorkshire as a breed. The American Canine
Registry is one of the few and the first United States known registry
that does recognize the Biewer as a breed and is helping to promote
the breed in the United States and throughout the world by the
breed name of "Biewer Yorkie". The American Canine Registry
formed the Biewer Yorkie Association on May 15, 2003 preparing
to set in place breed standards and other club necessities and
applied for recognition in 2004 to be the Biewer Breed Club for
ACR.
