[edit] Problems
The Biewer seems to have several names, Biewer Terrier, Biewer Yorkshire Terrier and Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon, depending on the club.
Does it matter when it came to the US? Should spread to other countries be dated as well?
The origin of the breed was as a prohibited color variant of the Yorkshire Terrier (large white spots.)
"Master parents" is not a dog term that I have heard or find anywhere else. I assumed it meant the foundation stock sire and dam until I saw the pictures on the websites of "Darling von Friedheck" and "Fru Fru von Friedheck", sire and dam of the piebald dog, and they were normally-coloured Yorkshires, no white. The normally-coloured dogs were the "world youth winners in 1981", not the piebald version.
"World youth winners in 1981" refers to a puppy title but from what show-giving body is not clear. The VDH (German Kennel Club) says the title was first offered in 2004. ("Youth" = puppy; "youth" in English refers to humans, which makes it even more confusing.)
"In 1989 the Biewer Yorkshire was accepted as its own breed with the ACH German e.V." ??? The ACH e.V. (Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschland e.V. online) was founded 1962. I find no listing for the Biewer there, and white is not allowed on their Yorkshire Terriers.
I find another club, ACH-L e.V. (Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde und Liebhaber e.V. online) that lists the Biewer, but it seems to date from 2003.
I find other clubs, and notice that there are variations in the standards, all of which are copyrighted anyway.
I will correct/remove these until a Biewer expert (or someone who speaks better German) can clarify these items. --Hafwyn (talk) 01:56, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
