History
The story behind the origins of the Biewer Terrier is quite interesting. Werner and Gertrud Biewer had been raising Yorkies for more than 20 years, and on 20th January 1984, a piebald Yorkie was born in the litter of many other puppies. The little puppy was named Schneeflocken von Friedheck, and the Biewer couple started to raise and selectively breed this piebald. The dog became popular in America in 2003 and was called the Biewer Terrier.
This little pup with a blue, gold and white body, named as Schneeflocken von Friedheck was amusing and attractive. Therefore Mr. and Mrs. Biewer carried on selective breeding for the purpose of designing more pups of this piebald variety, also naming these white-patched Yorkies as “Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Ponâ€. Their initiatives became successful by 2003 when they gradually introduced the Biewer Terrier to America.  These breeds were the first of their kind to be referred to as a purebred following the scientific data instead of pedigree data.
The Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschlandofficially recognized it under the name of Biewer Yorkie in the year 1989. Presently these dogs are recognized as a breed entirely different from the Yorkshire Terrier as fixed by the BTCA (Biewer Terrier Club of America). Itwas also included as a part of the Foundation Stock Service of the AKC. The Unite Kennel Club (UKC) recognized it very recently on 1st January 2016.
