Meet the Biewer Terrier
AN ELEGANT, LONGHAIRED, TRI-COLORED TOY TERRIER
“Gift” - GCH BCH Advance Gift Snow Avalanche
Pronounced “beaver,” this elegant and whimsical little character is a true charmer with a long, flowing, tri-colored coat and a happy-go-lucky spirit. Developed in Germany from Yorkshire Terriers with a distinct piebald gene, the Biewer is recognized by the AKC as a separate Breed. Whimsical, intelligent, and devoted, they are ideal for families looking for a playful yet elegant companion.
It is with great excitement that the Biewer Terrier joined the AKC fully-recognized breeds on January 01, 2021. It is incredible that this beautiful little dog, which was relatively unknown just a few years back, is now featured in movies, television, magazines, and product ads
The Biewer Terrier is an elegant, longhaired, uniquely colored Toy Terrier with a breed signature ponytail. The coat parts down the middle, hanging straight and evenly on both sides of the body as though a comb has been used to part it… The hair cannot be teased to make a big poof on the forehead when making a ponytail. The ponytail must be on top of the head, not in the middle of the forehead. A puppy may have the pony tail a little lower on the head to gather the hairs. This ponytail is long enough so that it should be on top of the head, not down on the forehead… The accepted colors for the head are listed in the Breed Standard. Black and white is not an accepted head coloring.
Fortunately for the breed, the parent club, Biewer Terrier Club of America, has developed a very thorough and comprehensive Judges Education Program. With perseverance, we hope to get the breed off to a good start in the show ring and, hopefully, avoid any future conflicts on how to judge and show our breed.
