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.
Adopting a pet is a life-changing decision. To help make sure you’re ready, here are five questions to ask yourself.
When you adopt a pet, you may not have any teething problems at all. But sometimes it can take a while for everyone to adjust…
Remember your new pet won’t understand what’s going on or why they’re moving to a new home. They could be confused, distressed or even grieving… They may need time to settle down, come out of their shell, or get used to a new environment and people.
Even though this is completely normal, it’s important to know that the first few weeks or months could be challenging or not match your expectations. Are you prepared to take the rough with the smooth? If not, pet parenthood probably isn’t for you.
