ARIEL IS THE FUTURE OF OUR YORKIES. SHE IS THE DAUGHTER OF BRODIE & BARBIE (BARBIE HAS GONE ON TO RAINBOW BRIDGE)
WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT HER FUTURE
Yorkshire Terriers (and Yorkie Mixes) are energetic, assertive, toy dogs with large-dog attitudes. This tiny dog with an engaging personality and dauntless courage has endeared himself to pet lovers everywhere. His qualities as a companion are unsurpassed for he is possessed of great intelligence, a readiness to accept training and the fearlessness and tenacity of a dog many times his size. I think that when a Yorkie looks in the mirror he is surprised at his appearance, because he expects to see a German Shepherd! He surely does not feel or act, like the picture of the little fluffy dog looking back at him. He has the obvious practical advantage of diminutive size, making him a great choice for pet lovers in this era of condensed living space. Your pup can easily fit into your life style. He can live on a farm or in a tiny apartment. What he wants most is the love and attention from his human. If you do your part, he will do his! My best wishes for you and your new furry kid!!!
General Appearance That of a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of body. The body is neat, compact and well proportioned. The dog's high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self-importance.
Head Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither undershot nor overshot and teeth sound. Either scissors bite or level bite is acceptable. The nose is black. Eyes are medium in size and not too prominent; dark in color and sparkling with a sharp, intelligent expression. Eye rims are dark. Ears are small, V-shaped, carried erect and set not too far apart.
Body Well proportioned and very compact. The back is rather short, the back line level, with height at shoulder the same as at the rump.
Legs and Feet Forelegs should be straight, elbows neither in nor out. Hind legs straight when viewed from behind, but stifles are moderately bent when viewed from the sides. Feet are round with black toenails. Dewclaws, if any, are generally removed from the hind legs. Dewclaws on the forelegs may be removed.
Tail Docked to a medium length and carried slightly higher than the level of the back.
Coat Quality, texture and quantity of coat are of prime importance. Hair is glossy, fine and silky in texture. Coat on the body is moderately long and perfectly straight (not wavy). It may be trimmed to floor length to give ease of movement and a neater appearance, if desired. The fall on the head is long, tied with one bow in center of head or parted in the middle and tied with two bows. Hair on muzzle is very long. Hair should be trimmed short on tips of ears and may be trimmed on feet to give them a neat appearance.
Colors Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: Blue: Is a dark steel-blue, not a silver-blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. Tan: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
Color on Body The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail.
Headfall A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not extend down on back of neck.
Chest and Legs A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.
Weight Must not exceed seven pounds.
Disqualifications: Any solid color or combination of colors other than blue and tan as described above. Any white markings other than a small white spot on the forechest that does not exceed 1 inch at its longest dimension.
BIEWER
Country of Origin: The Biewer (pronounced ?Bee-vair'), also known as the ?Biewer Terrier', ?Biewer a la Pom Pon', ?Biewer Yorkshire Terrier', ?Biewer Yorkshire', or ?Biewer Yorkie' is a variant of the Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer originated in Hunsruck, Germany in 1984 when Werner and Gertrude Biewer's, award winning blue and tan Yorkshires ?Darling von Friedheck' and ?Fru Fru von Friedheck' bore a puppy, named ?Scneeflocken von Friedheck', with a piebald coat (large, asymmetrical black and white patches) due to gene mutation. The Biewers continued breeding their Yorkshires to achieve four white legs, chest, belly and tip of the tail. The Biewer Yorkshire was recognized by the ACH in 1989 and first imported to America in 2003. The Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc. is the only American club supported by the founder of the Biewer Breed.
Size: The Biewer is 20-23 cm (8-9 in) tall and weighs 2-3 kg (4-7 lbs). Biewers have a small, flat head, level or scissors bite, dark, intelligent eyes, and small, highly set, ?V'-shaped ears. They have a level back and tail carried high.
Coat: The Biewer has a long, straight, silky coat. Its head can be two or three-colored: black/blue, gold white; black/blue, gold, or gold, white in good symmetry. Biewers have a white underbelly, chest, legs and tail tip, and blue or black and white back. The color and texture of the coat are perhaps the most important show trait. Show dogs are groomed with the hair grown out to 3/4 or full body length and parted down the middle of the back. Biewers have no undercoat and shed little.
Character: Biewers become attached to their families, but most maintain some measure of independence. The Biewer is lively, bold, and intelligent. It has a childlike, playful personality that holds true to the terrier breed. It barks when it senses danger.
Temperament: The Biewer is tolerant of all children provided they respect their personal space. Due to its small size and bold temperament the Biewer is not recommended for young children unless carefully supervised. The Biewer can occasionally be a bit too brave when dealing with larger dogs, but gets along fine with cats and other household pets. Biewers prefer life indoors, and are not suited to cold climates.
Care: Show Biewers require intensive brushing and combing on a daily basis and bathing every couple weeks. Many are trimmed professionally. The Biewer's hair should be kept out of its eyes by a latex band or a bow. Pet Biewers usually have a shorter ?puppy cut' for easier maintenance. For either cut, loose hairs should be regularly removed from ear passages. Biewers have a lifespan of 12-15 years. Biewer puppies can be susceptible to hypoglycemia (diagnosed by listless behavior and shakiness). Biewers under 3 pounds are better suited for adults due to their diminutive size.
Training: The Biewer is intelligent and capable of learning quickly, but some prolong the process with their independent, stubborn nature.
Activity: The Biewer can have most of its needs met through indoor play, but still prefers a daily walk or romp in a fenced-in yard. Biewers are well suited to apartment life.
