Again, they are still yorkies. Just they have a gene in common that is not carried in a traditional yorkie. IF there is a body characteristic (such as a more boxy body) it is ONLY because of the line that particular one comes from.
Also, as I said before, you have to remember that all Biewers (not partis) are from the same line of the Biewers in Germany. Any characteristics specifically found in a Biewer, as opposed to a parti or traditional yorkie, are characteristics that the Biewers specifically bred for. As in all selective breedings, certain characteristics follow. Just like yorkies that come from one particular breeder may have certain characteristics that differ from those in the lines of another breeder. Just that the Biewer's line has been more highlighted and have more people following it.
