About the Biewer Terrier

The Biewer Terrier is a small, elegant toy breed developed in Germany from a distinctive tri-coloured coat variation that appeared in Yorkshire Terrier lines. Named for the Biewer family who established it, this dainty dog wears a long, silky, flowing coat of blue, white and gold and carries itself with a charming, playful confidence. Despite its terrier ancestry, it is bred as a companion and has a gentle, whimsical and affectionate nature. It bonds closely with its people, is generally friendly and adaptable, and suits apartment life well. Its long coat requires regular grooming, and as a tiny dog it needs gentle handling and protection from rough play.

Every dog is an individual — genetics, socialization, health, training, and environment matter more than breed averages.

History

The Biewer Terrier originated in Germany in the 1980s when a distinctively tri-coloured puppy appeared in a litter of Yorkshire Terriers bred by Werner and Gertrud Biewer. Breeders established it as a separate breed, and genetic study supported its distinct status. It gained AKC recognition in 2021 as a toy companion breed.
