Question? Are Biewers, in the yorkie breed? I've seen several on this site and I didn't realize they were yorkies. Are they non shedding as well? They are beautiful. What are the prices of these?

Biewers are more expensive then regular yorkies because it is a new breed and I noticed when i was looking to buy one that most of the parents were imported from Germany. All the breeders I found were selling them for $3000.00, I decided a regular yorkie was a better deal for me and I got my London for only $750.00 WOW!

I have both a Biewer, and a yorkie. There are so many similarities. A Biewer is definetly a yorkshire Terrier. There is a genetic difference causing the color difference. They do not shed, although I think most I have seen have a more dense coat than the original yorkie.They are just as affecionate and playful as their brothers. I love my Biewer, and yes he was more expensive; but I love my yorkie too, and I could not put a price on either.

Biewer website information
About the Biewer Terrier Club of America

Paragraph towards the bottom
" The BTCA, Inc. knows that the Biewer is not a purebred Yorkie and finds it insubstantial to attempt breeding to a Yorkie standard. There are only a few lines that the parents and grandparents can be positively confirmed, the rest you have to rely on what appears on the pedigree. We believe beyond a shadow of a doubt that quite a few of those pedigrees are falsified. So, if you have not been privy to the mating of dogs you cannot affirm that the pedigrees are genuine."

I am not making any comments, decide for yourself how you want to interpret this. Have fun.

They are non-shedding. Just like Yorkies, the prices vary. But in general, right now, they are more expensive than Yorkies.
Here are a couple more Biewer Club websites if you are looking for more on the history of the Biewer.
They are the Bytnc and BBCI

The Biewers are non-shedding. The Biewers are hypo-allergetic. The Biewers are not quite as yappy as the Yorkie.

The BTCA Biewer Club is investigating the heritage and genetic make-up of the Biewers. The club recently had a genetist speak about the genetics of what makes a Biewer a Biewer. There is much to learn. New information has recently been posted at Biewer Terrier Club of America

Thank you for all the info. I have 3 yorkies, 11 3 &2. I think I'll stick with what I have. I just thought the Biewers were sooo pretty. I used to have a Pekingese that looked alot like the Biewers I have viewed on here and just didn't know if they were actually yorkie or not.
