Can you breed a Biewer Terrier with Yorkie and still register them?
Most probably not.
These are two different breeds – the Yorkshire Terrier and the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier, although the history of the two breeds in pretty much the same. The Yorkshire Terrier is originated from the earldom Yorkshire, England, as a result of crossbreeding various Terriers. The real breeding started in the first half of the 18th century, and as it was quite popular, the breeders kept its origin a secret, and it is still uncertain what breeds is the Yorkshire exactly carrying.
The Biewer Yorkie was bred after the Yorkie. It first appeared in Germany in 1984. When the first colored Yorkie was born (as a result of mutation), the breeders made a firm decision: this type has to be handled as a separate, new breed.
Anyway, if you’d like to know the exact answer for the question in the title, the most logical thing to do would be to ask at the place where you’d like to register them, but in most places it probably won’t be accepted.
