Mr. and Mrs. Biewer had been raising and showing Yorkshires for 20 years, when on January 20th, 1984 the first blue, white and gold puppy named Schneeflocken von Friedheck was born. This was the start of what is known as the Biewer Terrier Breed.
Mr. Biewer spent 5 years selectively breeding his dogs until he was able to establish and breed true to a standard uniquely the Biewer Breed. The dogs were then registered with the ACH as Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon, pronounced(Bee-vir). In 1989 when Mr. Biewer signed the standard for this new breed, it was that of the Yorkshire Terrier with the coloring being White-Blue-Gold.
Mr. and Mrs. Biewer kept a close reign on the Biewer breeding programs in Germany, so their quality breeding dogs were hard to come by and quite costly. When Mr. Biewer became ill, he was not able to carry on the dream he and his wife had set out to accomplish for the Biewers.
All the decisions of their breeding program became the sole responsibility of Mrs. Biewer and the care of her husband and the dogs became too much. Mr. Biewer died in 1997, and Mrs. Biewer discontinued her breeding program shortly thereafter, but the dreams of his treasured breed will live on forever, thanks to the efforts of many dedicated Biewer Terrier breeders.
To date, the American Kennel Club (AKC) does not recognize the Biewer as a breed. In Dec. of 2007 the American Rare Breed Association(ARBA) accepted the Biewer Terrier as a rare breed. The Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc.(BTCA,Inc.) was accepted as the National breed club at this time.
