The Biewer breed originated in Hunsruck Germany. In 1984 Mr.& Mrs. Werner Biewer started the first Biewer through a gene mutation in their yorkies, also known as a recessive pie bald gene.
The Biewer began with the Master parents of the blue & tan Sire, "Darling von Friedheck", and the Dam, also blue and tan in color, "Fru Fru von Friedheck".
Both dogs were world youth winners in 1981 at Dortmund. Their marriage brought the first blue-white-gold Biewer, "Scheneeflocken of Friedheck", born January of 1984
Mr. Biewer continued breeding his colored yorkies to achieve their white bellies and four white paws.
In 1989 the Biewer was accepted as it own breed with the ACH German e.V. The Biewer has enchanted us with their elegant coloring and disposition.
The head must have three colors; blue/black, white and gold in good symmetry. The belly, chest, legs and the tip of the tail is white. Full tail. The back is black/blue or black/blue with white in it. The hairs silky, not curly. The black generally turns blue in time just as the Yorkshire Terrier. The coat may take two years to get to it's final color.
Although Mr. Biewer passed away in 1997, his legacy lives on through this exquisite and rare breed.
Biewer History and Standards
If you research this breed, you will see many differing thoughts about the breed and its origin. I do not believe that these dogs are Biewer Terriers or that they are a mixed breed. I hold that these lovely creatures originated from the Yorkshire Terrier as shown in their history and their pedigrees.
