FAQ: Why is there such a price difference between Biewers, Yorkies and what appears to be a Tri-colored Yorkie??

Biewers are truly a rare breed dog.  They hail from Germany and it's quite expensive to import them. Very few breeders have ventured into taking on the import of these dogs.

There are many Yorkie breeders which means that with the price is lower since there are so many competing to place puppies.

Yorkies are very similar in size, coat and temperament.  It's much easier to find and adopt a Yorkie.  They are a well known and loved breed and very popular.  

Too many unscrupulous individuals have bred a Yorkie with any white dog at all (Maltese, Poodles, Westies etc) in order to produce what they refer to as 'Biewers' in order to take advantage of the 'market' for this rare dog.  Don't be fooled and don't waste your money unless you just want a cute mixed doggie.  

You want a REAL Biewer and not just a cute mixed breed doggie with a high price tag!

The body coat is a bright steel blue, not light silver and not BLACK, not mingled with fawn, bronzy orblack hairs.

The blue extends over the body from the back of the neck to the root of the tail.

Head, Chest and Legs: A clear golden tan deeper in colour at sides of head, at ear roots! and on the muzzle,with ears a deep golden tan. The golden tan hair is shaded from the roots down and does not extend down the back of the neck, nor above the elbows on forelegs or above the stifle on the hind legs.  

FACT: There are no TRI-COLOR YORKIES within the breed standard!!  These are a fault within the Yorkie breed.  The tri-colored marking isn't an option within the Yorkie breed standard and does not make them a Biewer!!  It simply makes them a mis-marked Yorkie.

The Biewer has it's own breed standard and requirements for where and how the markings are placed.

FACT: Breeding a Yorkie to a white dog does not produce a Biewer!!

The name 'Biewer' is pronounced 'Bee-va' or 'Bee-vir' (both are acceptable) and is the surname of the German couple that worked so hard to develop the Biewer Yorkie
