Biewer/ Parti Colored Yorkies
I am a small hobby breeder of Yorkshire Terriers located in the Great Lake State of Michigan. It is my love for the Yorkshire Terrier breed that has prompted me to offer the beautiful Biewer/ Parti Colored Yorkie to my clients in addition to our top quality AKC Champion Bred "traditional" Yorkshire Terriers. Our tri-colored Yorkies are beautiful and of the very best quality.
Puppies are sold at a pet price in hopes of making this beautiful Yorkie more affordable to the average pet owner. Quality does not have to cost a fortune and it is never a mistake!
The tri-colored Yorkie has always been around. Because they did not meet the "breed standard" many were simply handed out the back door unregistered as "pets" and their parents were then removed from traditional breeding programs. Because the Yorkshire Terrier is a relatively new breed, we still see recessive genes from their early ancestors displayed in some dogs when they are paired with another dog who also carries that same recessive gene.
The Yorkie was created by working men of north England, who developed the breed for catching the terrible rats and mice that infested clothing mills and mine shafts. These hunting dogs could penetrate into badger and fox burrows. The breed is not very old, but its origins are not entirely certain. However, it seems likely that Scotsmen seeking work in the woolen mills of Yorkshire brought with them various types of terrier, including the Skye Terrier, Dandie Dinmont, Manchester Terrier, Maltese and the now extinct Clydesdale. These were then crossed with local types, such as the long- haired Leeds Terrier. At first, the Yorkie was a much bigger animal than the one we see today, but by selectively breeding the smallest individuals, the dog was gradually miniaturized over the years. They were made into a fashion dog. Women carried these little dogs in their bags and under their arms. The Yorkshire Terrier was first recognized by the AKC in 1885.

The Biewer Terrier is quickly working its way into the hearts of Americans everywhere. With its lighthearted, whimsical; child like attitude, this tri-colored toy terrier is gaining popularity with dog lovers everywhere. Equally as good with children as he is with other dogs of all sizes, the Biewer Terrier is a loyal and fast friend to all he considers part of his family. Although every dog has his own unique and special personality, as a breed, the Biewer Terrier is confident, happy, fun loving and even tempered. Generally speaking, Biewers are not noisy or especially difficult in any particular way.
With the introduction of the Biewer to America in 2003, there has been much speculation about its heritage. Mr. and Mrs. Biewer had been raising and showing Yorkies for 20 years, when on January 20th, 1984 the first blue, white and gold Biewer named Schneeflocken von Friedheck was born. This was the start of what is known as the Biewer Terrier Breed.
Mr. Biewer spent 5 years selectively breeding his dogs until he was able to establish and breed true to a standard uniquely the Biewer Breed. The dogs were then registered as Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon with ACH. In 1989 when Mr. Biewer signed the standard for this wonderful new breed, it was that of the Yorkshire Terrier with the coloring being White-Blue-Gold. Mr. Biewer was not a man of many words, so the standard was short and brief.
