The Biewer Terrier (pronounced “Bee-vair”) is a relatively new toy breed, originally developed in Germany in the 1980s from the Yorkshire Terrier. Through selective breeding of piebald-colored Yorkies, the Biewer emerged as a distinct and uniquely patterned breed with a lively, loving nature.

Small in stature but big in personality, Biewers have a long, flowing coat in white, blue, and gold. They are cheerful, playful, and deeply bonded to their humans. Though delicate in appearance, they are sturdy little companions with a love for playtime and cuddles alike.

They do well in apartments or houses and are great with children and other pets when socialized early. With consistent grooming and positive training, the Biewer Terrier makes a delightful companion for families or individuals alike.
