We believe and follow the Biewer Breed Standard of Germany. We feel the history and standard is most important from
where this beautiful breed began.Therefore, we use only the Biewer Breed Standard of Germany. Many have changed the Breed
Standard within their club to suit their needs of their breeding programs, however,we feel it is of utmost importance to continue
the Standard created by the creator, Mr. Biewer. Please do not be fooled by variations and additions/deductions of this standard
by breeders looking to suit their breeding program vs. their breeding program fitting the true German Standards of this breed. Like
all kind, this breed does have its heritage and history and no attempt should be made to change it. Biewer Standard of Germany Founded in 2003 INFO: Translated
from the UCI Standard of Germany UCI Reference No 00 / 490 ORIGIN: Germany 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 AND 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 ¾ 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

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 Biewer’s 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 wears
or tails will be disqualified.
