History and Standards
The Biewer Breed is almost 23 years old and has been surrounded by many speculations of how this beautiful and extremely loving breed has come about. The first Blue, White and Gold Yorkie named Schneefloeckchen von Friedheck, was born on January 20th 1984 to Darling von Friedheck a 1981, Dortmund Junior Champion, and Fru-Fru von Friedheck a 1981, Dortmund World Champion. Werner and Gertrude Biewer had been raising and showing Yorkies for 20 years. This breeding laid the foundation and the Biewer family started breeding their colorful Yorkies.
It is said, that while dinning one evening the husband of singer Margot Eskens gave her a Biewer Yorkie puppy on a platter. Because of this celebration the name a la' Pom Pon was added. In French it means, Tassel or colorful ball of yarn, which was the perfect description of the puppies hair.
Mr.Biewer died in 1997 and his wife Gertrude Biewer has been living in Solens, Wetzlar with all her Yorkies and discontinued her breeding program.
