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.
Temperament
Biewer Terriers are friendly, playful and affectionate, with a gentle and often whimsical disposition. They bond closely with their families and are generally good with children and other pets when socialized. Bright and curious, they enjoy attention and adapt well to various homes.
