How do you buy a European Biewer Yorkie?

biewer-yorkie3Getting a Yorkie is not as simple as going to a “pet store” and pick out what may appear to be a purebred when in actuality it may be a product of what is known as a “backyard breeder”. Before purchasing a Yorkie, one must research on what comprises the accepted and desired breed standard. Biewer Yorkies have compact and neat bodies, 8 ½ inches in height and 7 pounds in weight, with shiny and silky coats that can be long enough to reach the floor. These are just a few of the traits that must be present to qualify what one may see as a true purebred.

Getting as much reliable information as one can will definitely arm a prospective owner in the face of shady or irresponsible breeders trying to pass their canines as the real thing. Here are some red flags that may indicate a breeder may not be true to the Biewer Yorkie standard:

  • Pay and take the puppy with no questions asked
  • Breeder doesn’t have any connections with accredited or recognized clubs for the breed

  • No written documentation on the dogs bloodline or lineage

  • No guarantees that the breed you are getting is of sound health.

  • Unable to give names of former buyers for reference

Falling for these will have one run the risk of investing not only money, but time, devotion and hope on a canine that was thought to be what one had always wanted but fell short due to the lack of information and education. When searching for a quality breeder, one should look for these signs:

  • Breeder respect the breed by keeping its temperament of being independent, fearless, of high-energy and people oriented.

  • Preventing health issues such as hip and joint issues and poor digestion by informing the buyer

  • Kennels are clean and the diet given is more than adequate

  • Documents and certificates are ready and nothing is hidden

  1. We are one of the early breeders of Biewer Yorkies in Canada and it has been 7 years since we started with this unique breed. We follow the German standard and register all litters with the official Biewer club. Many American Biewer breeders started their program with our litters. We have been in business with our traditional Yorkies for over 25 years and the Biewer is a natural addition to our line. If you have a chance, please visit our web site at http://www.biewers.com These dogs are incredibly beautiful and very social.

  3. akc disquilifies any patch of white on the body of a yorkie other than a small 1 inch on the chest. The so called Biewer is a throw back from the Maltese. Years ago the Maltese was used to bring down the size of the Yorkie but the white was undesirable so there for it was bred out of the Yorkie. All you people are doing is bring back the Maltese and beings it is a breed of its own. You should not try to breed the Maltese back through the Yorkie.
