About biewer terriers If you like Yorkies, you'll like biewers! The breed started in Germany in 1980's. Compared to some breeds, this is a new breed. Breeders called Gertrude and Werner Biewer were presented with a piebald puppy when their Yorkshire terrier gave birth! By selective breeding they started a line of Yorkies with white markings. They named the dogs, "Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon." They have been called "belted Yorkies," because of the markings: they have a striped/banded coat, starting at the top line and flowing down the sides. A breed standard has been established and Biewers are now a separate breed from the Yorkshire terrier Biewers have long, straight hair. They have a silky, shiny coat. In the show ring, long hair down to the ground is impressive. But as pets, many people cut the coat the same length all over - not too short - giving a tousled, lovable look. A Biewer dog should be brushed regularly. Ears are erect & feathered. Eyes may be green, gold, or dark colored. Eye rims should be chocolate or dark in colour. The tail is carried upright. Because of their cute appearance, Biewers are sometimes spoiled by over-indulgent owners. They should be given kind training while young, and taught obedience. Those bright doggy eyes seem to say, "I promise to obey your words," as King David of Israel wrote. Obedience to God was the key to King David's success. Psalm 119 verse 57.
