The Biewer Terrier originated in Germany in 1984, when a rare piebald recessive gene appeared in a litter of Yorkshire Terriers. Recognizing the uniqueness of this coloring and temperament, breeders Mr. and Mrs. Biewer began developing the line into a distinct breed. Today, the Biewer Terrier is cherished worldwide for its refined appearance and delightful personality.
