GENERAL APPEARANCE: That of a long-haired toy terrier whose
hair hangs evenly and straight
down each side of the body, and from the base of the skull to the end
of the tail. The animal should be very compact and neat. The tail
should be carried up. The outlines should give the impression of a
powerful and well proportioned body.
Head & Skull: The head should be rather small and flat, not too
propionate round in the skull, nor the muzzle too long with an
absolute black nose. The hair on the head is long with colors:
white-blue-gold, symmetrically colored.
Eyes: Medium size, dark and sparkling with a sharp intelligent
expression and placed in a way that
they look straight. They shall not be too prominent and the eye rims
should be of a dark color.
Ears: -Small V shaped ears, that are carried erect, and set not too far
apart, covered with a short hair.
Teeth: The teeth should be all the same. Either a scissor bite or level
bite is acceptable. Premolar
faults are tolerated.
Forelegs: - The legs should be totally straight, well covered with hair.
Hind legs :Legs rather straight, well muscled, and well covered with
hair.
BODY: Very compact with well formed hips, and a level back line.
TAIL: A complete tail, with lots of hair, carried slightly higher than
the level of the back.
FEET: As rounded as possible, with toenails being white or black.
COAT: The hair on the body has a length down the sides of the dog,
or long enough to reach the
ground, and is absolutely straight (not wooly), shiny like silk and of
fine silky texture, without an
undercoat.
Coloring of the coat of the trunk, and the head piece are as follows:
Rather white or blue-white broken or closely blue absolute, or black,
without brown coloring. Hair
on the breast, pure white on the belly, and the legs.
The head with White- blue-gold, symmetrical colored.
WEIGHT & HEIGHT: Up to 22 cm in height and a weight of about
3.1 kg.
FAULTS: Any and all differences within this breed standard.
Light colored eyes or eye rims.
Light colored nostrils.
Any ear that is not erect. An over or undershot bite.
Wavy or curly hair
Please Note: As of August 1998 Germany enacted the Animal
Protection Dog Regulations
(TIERSCHUTZ-HUNDEVERORDNUNG) in which it is NOW
ILLEGAL to dock tails or ears,
therefore any docking of tails and ears on the Bierwer is considered
FORBIDDEN in Germany. So
ALL Biewers imported, and shown in the USA must have Uncropped
tails and ears. This standard
depicts the original standard, but we will enforce the current new
restrictions enacted from
Germany. Any Biewer shown in the United States or Germany must
now be shown in its natural
state. Any Biewer with cropped ears or tails will be disqualified

| Angelic Biewers |
| History Mr. and Mrs. Werner & Gertrude Biewer started the 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 Biewers started with the master parents *Darling von Friedheck* and *Fru Fru von Friedheck*. Both dogs were blue and tan and were world youth winners in 1981 at Dortmund. Their marriage 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 states 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. We will hold true to the German Standards of this lovely rare breed |
