Can a Biewer Yorkie be registered with the AKC?
Registering a dog at the American Kennel Club allows the owner to be officially documented as a part of the breed’s history as time goes by and supporting canine research, proper dog care and other thrusts for responsible ownership. Upon registration, the dogs receive a health plan trial, a complimentary veterinarian visit and the eligibility to compete in AKC sponsored events.
Unfortunately the Biewer Yorkie is not a recognized breed by the AKC till this day. However it was accepted by the American Rare Breed Association or ABRA as a rare breed in December 2007 and the National Breed club title was given to the Biewer Terrier Club of American, Inc. In their country of origin, Germany, the breed is recognized by more than 50 clubs and registries. AKC recognized or not, these little dogs are finding their ways into the homes of loving and caring families.

The Biewer Yorkie is not recognized by AKC. Years ago the Maltese was used to breed down the size of Yorkies there for by breeding the white back into them in fact is just making a Maltese.
Hope someday Biewer Yorkie will be recognized too and get the same benefit with other already registered breed. Does ABRA do give some kind of benefits and protection to the listed breeds on them?
