The Biewer Terrier, also known as the Biewer Yorkshire Terrier, the Biewer Yorkie, or just the Biewer, is a new type of toy terrier breed. The average Biewer weighs between 4 – 8 pounds, and they stand around 9 inches at the withers.
The Biewer Terrier is small in size, somewhat fragile, and is not suitable for toddler or young children. The body is well proportioned and compact. The dog breed's forelegs should be straight without any bowing of either leg. The Biewer Terrier's ears are held erect and come to a point with soft silky fringes of hair falling off the sides of the ear.
The Biewer Terrier's overall appearance is that of an elegant longhaired tri colored toy terrier with the hair parting down the middle and hanging straight and evenly on both sides of the dog, as though a comb had been used to part the hair from the nose to the end of the body. The back is level, with height at shoulders being equal to height of the rump.
The Biewer Terrier Club of America is a non-profit organization comprised of both National and International members. Its members consist of breeders, exhibitors and Biewer Terrier pet owners.
The Biewer Breed Club International, referred to as the BBCI, is dedicated to the preservation of the breed. The goals range from the serious breeder who strives for the best they can breed, to the owner who is striving to win in the show ring, to the pet owner who just wants this wonderful dog breed as a companion.
