History Of The Biewer Terrier
In 1984 a very special puppy “Schneefloeckchen von Friedheck (Snowflake) was born in Germany her parents were both Yorkshire Terriers originating from the UK but unlike her siblings she did not have the black and tan colouring of a Yorkshire Terrier puppy, her coat was black tan & white.
Her Breeder Dr Biewer was fond of the anomality and pursued the development of breeding the Parti Coloured Yorkshire Terriers which were initially named the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a La Pom Pom.
In 1989 the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier was officially recognised by the Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschland.
“How do you pronounce Biewer Terrier?” –
“Beaver, exactly like our little dam building friends”
American Kennel Club Breed Recognition
In 2007 the American Kennel Club engaged the services of Mars Veterinary geneticists who used DNA samples from ten pedigree registered Biewer Terriers to determine that the breed was a purebred Yorkshire Terrier. The study disclosed that the Biewer Terrier combined a mix of the Yorkshire Terrier, Maltese, Havanese & Bichon Frise.
To satisfy the demand and love for this beautiful small companion breed and to maintain the purity of the Yorkshire Terrier the American Kennel Club recognised the Biewer Terrier as a purebred dog in it’s own right separate from the Yorkshire Terrier in 2021. In the UK the Kennel Club does not yet acknowledge the Biewer Terrier as a breed but hopefully that will change at some point in the future.
Breed Standard
The Biewer Terrier is a small dog with a tri coloured coat of black tan and white or steel blue tan and white. The coat is long, fine and silky reaching ground level. The back should be black and white or blue & white, the legs and tip of the tail must be white.
The head features three colours, black tan and white or steel blue tan and white with tan points on the ears, eyebrows and cheeks. The ears should be small and pricked upright. The eyes should be very dark. The pigment of the eye rims, nose and paw pads are black.
Weight & Height
The Biewer Terrier weighs between 1.9 – 3.6 kg (3-8lbs) standing 18 – 27cm (7-11″) however as with all breeds height and weight can be less or more than the breed standard. In Europe breeders often categorise puppies into two sizes, “Mini” and “Standard” whilst there is no official classification it is indicative of the expected weight and height of a puppy at maturity.
Buyer Beware
The Biewer Terrier is a very small toy dog breed, puppies will often weigh as little as 800g or less at eight weeks of age which in our opinion is far too small & too young for our puppies to be rehomed. These tiny pups are often mis sold at eight weeks of age as mini or teacups which they rarely are to meet the demand. We assess and rehome all of our puppies on an individual basis and never rehome until at least 12 weeks of age.
Personality & Character
The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier is best described as a small, joyous little dog. They are an elegant, longhaired, tri-colored toy terrier whose only purpose in life is to love and be loved. They maintain a charming, whimsical attitude well into adulthood, are a dedicated, loyal family member and frequently over friendly with strangers. A large percentage of the Biewer Terriers are happy-go-lucky dogs, smiling when asked if they are happy. In spite of their small stature, they are a very hearty, athletic dog and an excellent hunter of vermin. They are lighthearted, have a childlike attitude and like to carry toys in their mouths. They are quick to alert you to company, but are not constant barkers.
Allergies
Are Biewers Hypoallergenic?
In short No ! There is no such thing as a Hypoallergic dog. All dogs shed to some degree!
While some breeds are advertised as hypoallergenic, it’s important to note that no dog breed is completely allergen-free. The coat of the Biewer Terrier like the Yorkshire Terriers are low shedding, meaning the hair sheds minimally, similar to human hair, and does not cast or molt with the changing seasons. The hair structure is also similar to human hair, which is often better tolerated by people with allergies.
However, allergic reactions are usually triggered by a dog’s dander and saliva, which is transferred onto their coat during self grooming. As a low-shedding breed, there will be less hair floating around, reducing the likelihood of triggering allergies in the airways and eyes.
If a family member suffers from allergies, spending time in our home with our dogs and puppies during viewing can help determine if allergens from our dogs trigger an allergic response. This can provide a better understanding of how well a Biewer Yorkshire Terrier might fit into your home.
Coat Maintenance
As a non shedding breed their coats require daily grooming if to be kept long but are also super cute in a puppy or teddy-bear clip. We find that a once weekly bath helps to reduce grease and dirt and reduces the coat from tangles and mats. If their coats are to be maintained shorter grooming costs must be calculated into ongoing costs.
Overall Health
The Biewer Yorkshire Terrier are overall very healthy little dogs with an average life expectancy of 15 years though it is not uncommon for them to live longer. The most common problems that can arise as with many small toy breeds are Luxating Patella, Liver Shunt and Progressive Retinal Atrophy. All of our dogs have been screened for over 260 health conditions assuring our puppies will not inherit any congenital health conditions passed on from their parents. Given the overall good health of the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier insurance premiums are reasonable.
Dental Hygiene
As with the majority of small toy breeds dental hygiene is essential, regular brushing, tonics that can be added to water or granules that can be added to food will help maintain healthy gums and teeth. An annual health check with your vet is also advisable.
