The Biewer Terrier (pronounced “beaver”) is a rare, elegant toy breed that originated in Germany in the 1980s. It began with a spontaneous genetic mutation in two Yorkshire Terriers owned by Gertrud and Werner Biewer, resulting in puppies with a unique piebald (white, black, and tan) coat. Fascinated by the unusual coloring, the Biewers selectively bred for this trait, eventually creating a distinct breed.
Recognized for their charming appearance and graceful movement, Biewer Terriers are not only rare but also hypoallergenic and low-shedding, making them a great choice for allergy sufferers. They have a silky, long coat that requires regular grooming but doesn’t leave fur all over your home.
Playful, affectionate, and portable, the Biewer Terrier is a delightful companion with a unique origin story that sets it apart in the toy dog world.
