The Biewer (pronounced ‘Bee-vair’), also known as the ‘Biewer Terrier’, ‘Biewer a la Pom Pon’, ‘Biewer Yorkshire Terrier’, ‘Biewer Yorkshire’, or ‘Biewer Yorkie’ is a variant of the Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer originated in Hunsruck, Germany in 1984.
Biewers become attached to their families, but most maintain some measure of independence. The Biewer is lively, bold, and intelligent. It has a childlike, playful personality that holds true to the terrier breed. It barks when it senses danger.
The Biewer has a long, straight, silky coat. Its head can be two or three-colored: black/blue, gold white; black/blue, gold, or gold, white in good symmetry. Biewers have a white underbelly, chest, legs and tail tip, and blue or black and white back. The color and texture of the coat are perhaps the most important show trait. Show dogs are groomed with the hair grown out to 3/4 or full body length and parted down the middle of the back. Biewers have no undercoat and shed little.

The Biewer can have most of its needs met through indoor play, but still prefers a daily walk or romp in a fenced-in yard. Biewers are well suited to apartment life.
