Biewer A'la Pom Pon
Breed Standard


History of the Biewer

The Biewer, pronounced "Beeva" was introduced to the world from Germany in 1984 through a mating by the breeders, Mr. and Mrs. Werner & Gertrude Biewer. They started the breed with their  first Biewer through a recessive piebald gene occurrence in their Yorkshire Terriers.

Although Mr. Werner Biewer passed away in 1997, his legacy lives on through this exquisite rare breed.

The Biewer breed had started with the breeding of
“Darling von Friedheck” and “Fru Fru von Friedheck”.
Both dogs were of blue and tan coloring.
Their mating together brought the first
blue, white and golden Biewer ,
“Schneeflocken von Friedheck”,
born in January of 1984.

Mr. Biewer continued breeding his colored Biewers  to
achieve their white bellies and four white paws. In 1989
the Biewer  was accepted as it own breed with
the ACH German e.V. As we know them today, the
Biewer  a la Pom Pon has enchanted us with
their elegant coloring and disposition.

The breed standard is that of a Yorkshire Terrier except
for the coloring. The head must have three colors;
blue, white and gold in good symmetry. The belly,
chest, legs and the tip of the tail is white. The tail is full.
The back is blue with white in it. The hair is silky, not curly.
