The Rare Gene That Created an Entirely New Breed | Biewer Terrier

American Kennel Club Video 2 days ago

Description

In 1984, a Yorkshire Terrier breeder named Mr. and Mrs. Biewer welcomed a puppy unlike any they’d seen — black, white, and tan, carrying a recessive piebald gene almost never found in Yorkies. Three months later, another one arrived. What started as a genetic surprise became an entirely new breed. The Biewer family was highly selective about where their dogs were placed, and demand far outpaced supply. Today, the Biewer Terrier is an intelligent, amusing, and devoted companion who keeps a lighthearted, whimsical attitude well into adulthood. They’re loyal with family, friendly with strangers, and despite their tiny size, surprisingly hardy and athletic. That long tricolored coat needs daily brushing and the occasional bath to stay soft and silky.
