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.

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.

Making sure everything is in order. What an adorable Biewer Yorkie puppy!

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.

Avoid unnecessary vet bills! Do your dog’s basic health check!

All our dogs have the ability to break our hearts. Whether you share your life with a BIEWER YORKIE or a Labrador Retriever, the bond you form with your dog can be one of the closest and most powerful you will ever experience.

If you want proof of just how extraordinary the relationsip between man and his best friend can be then you really must read a stunning new book called One Dog At A Time. It has been written by a British Marine and dog lover called Pen Farthing and tells of his time serving in the violent Helmand Province of Afghanistan.

While dodging the bullets and mortars, Sergeant Farthing witnessed the cruel and barbaric Afghan tradition of dog fighting. Rather than standing by as many would have done, he risked his life by breaking up the fighting and freeing the dogs. One of them, a big, battle-scarred mastiff he christened Nowzad after the town he was stationed in, found his way into the Marine compound where he befriended his liberator. As Farthing’’s tour of duty continued, he and Nowzad became inseparable buddies. The tough British soldier and the powerful dog formed an odd couple in the middle of the war zone. They were soon joined by other dogs who were drawn to the sanctuary the Marine compound provided. At one point, one dog pushed her litter of newborn pups through the wall of the compound so that they could be safe from the Taliban bombs and general cruelty of the Afghans towards the dog.

By the end of his time in Afghanistan, Farthing had more than a dozen dogs and puppies living in his makeshift sanctuary. As he prepared to leave, he was faced with the heartbreaking prospect of leaving them all behind.

We won’t spoil the ending of this powerful book, but suffice it to say that two of the dogs he rescued are now living with Pen Farthing in England. He has also set up a fantastic charity to rescue other abused dogs in Afghanistan. His work is truly inspirational and is winning the admiration and support of dog lovers everywhere. Part of the proceeds from the book will go towards his charity.

If you only buy and read one dog book this year, make it One Dog At A Time.

Dogs have become such an important part of our society, that the need for them to fit in well with other human beings and not pose a threat or a disturbance is critical to their long term acceptance by our neighbors and others around us. Not all people are dog lovers and to make sure that they’re not inconvenienced by our pets, training is essential.

Dog training is a repetition of the basic principle of reward and punishment in various forms and combinations. Communication of these signals is the key to proper training. One very important thing to remember is consistency of signals. The reliability of the training depends on how well a dog is able to be sure of what your signals mean.

An important factor is the emotional state of the dog. A dog that is frightened, anxious, or insecure doesn’t train well and this reflects the importance of factors like proper socialization of puppies.

A lot of studies have shown that proper puppy socialization goes a long way towards ensuring a good temperament and receptivity towards training. Lots of handling, petting and generally being around humans in their everyday life goes a long way towards making a dog well behaved and easy to train.

Training Biewer Yorkie puppies should not begin too early however, as there is evidence to show that before a certain age, the brains of puppies are not significantly developed enough to process complex learning.

Professional dog trainers are best when it comes to training your dog as they will ensure that the proper habits are set for life, including how to behave around strangers. For the safety of your dog, it is your duty as an owner to ensure that he or she is well trained.
