The first and only Biewer Club in the UK. Setup in 2010 to help
the British public understand the origins of the Biewer breed.
Mr & Mrs Biewer had been raising and showing Yorkies for 20 years in Germany under the kennel name Friedheck, when
on January 20th, 1984 the first blue, white and gold Biewer named Schneeflocken von Friedheck was born.
This was
the start of what is known as the Biewer 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 as Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon with ACH-de.
In 1989 when Mr Biewer signed the standard for this wonderful new breed,
it was that of the Yorkshire Terrier with the coloring being White-Blue-Gold. The
standard was short and brief.
It
is understood that Mr & Mrs. Biewer kept a close reign on their Biewer breeding program 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 that he and his wife had set out to accomplish for the Biewer Breed. All the decisions of their breeding program
became the sole responsibility of Mrs Biewer and the care of her husband and the dogs became to much. She slowly phased out
their breeding program in order to better care for her husband.
