Breed recognition
Biewer fanciers are working towards recognition of the breed in the United
States. The IABCA was a member of the German organization who had approved the
Biewer in Germany, so the first Biewer puppy was shown in the US in June of
2003. The first Best In Show for the Biewer in the USA took place in November of
2003.
A National Breed Club was formed for the Biewer in the USA in 2003 and is
known as the American Biewer Club (ABC). This club was the first club formed in
the USA to support the breed as it was originally bred for using the original
Biewer lines. The ABC abides by the German Breed standard and supports the
original German Biewer Club.
As a very new breed, there remains some controversy over whether the Biewer
is a completely separate breed or is simply a colour variation of the
Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer is not currently recognized by any of the
major international
kennel
clubs.
