Can you breed a Biewer Terrier with Yorkie and still register them?

Biewer YorkieMost 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.

Biewer Yorkie: Looking Good, Feeling Good

Ann | November 10th, 2009

This small dog is not to be seen as a fragile or delicate dog. They have a compact body that is well proportioned and gives off an aura of power despite its size and ribbon-tied hair to keep it from going into the eyes. Since these dogs are very adventurous and always eager to go on outings with the family, it is best to keep them well groomed and physically fit.

The coats of the Biewer Yorkie can grow long which may add to any event of heat stroke. A puppy cut is recommended by most owners and a regular bath every two to three weeks. To give that healthy shine, use a wire comb once a week. However if the dog will be entered in to a dog show, standards suggest that the hair grow long enough to touch the floor. For toning of their muscles, regular play time and walks will be sufficient to keep these fellas in tip top shape.
