History of the Biewer & Yorkshire Terrier
Teacup & Large Toy Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers Are Still Registered Through AKC as Biewer or Yorkshire Terriers
Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers must weigh between 4-8 pounds full grown and stand 7-11 inches tall to be qualified to enter the show ring. If a Biewer or Yorkshire Terriers is smaller or larger than this requirement it is considered a fault by the American Kennel Club. Which just means they can not enter the show ring for competition.
Teacup size Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers should weigh between 2 – or 5 pounds and stand 6-8 inches tall from shoulders to the floor. Large Toy sized Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers should weigh 9-11 lbs full grown and stand 12-13 inches tall. Evidently, they can not be “show dogs.” However, they can still enter other competitions such as agility, fly-ball and so on. Also, they can still have “champion bloodlines” in their pedigree if any of their past relatives met the requirements and completed the show competition with a championship title.
Keep in mind that teacup and large toy Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers are still simply a Biewer or Yorkshire Terriers. There is no separate classification for the large toy and teacup sizes as of yet. This means when you register a “teacup or large toy Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers” their registration papers will show as a purebred Biewer & Yorkshire Terriers. The word “teacup” and “large toy” is just a breeders term referring to their smaller or larger estimated adult size and should not be considered a separate classification.
