Although the Breed Standard corresponds in many ways with that of a Yorkshire Terrier (apart from the colouring) the Biewer is a breed of its own and nor a Yorkshire Terrier of a different colour!
After continuing breeding his coloured Biewers to achieve their elegant colour dispositioning, the Biewer a la Pom Pon was accepted as as its own breed by the ACH German e.V. in 1989. As we know them today, they still enchant us with their symmetric black/blue, white and gold heads and their white bellies, chest, legs ant tip of tail. We will therefore honor him and his wife Gertrude by adhering to the German Biewer Standard and by committing ourselves to breed only from the best Biewer to Biewer stock available in order to protect and promote the Breed!
