The Parti Yorkie (Biewer Terrier)
Breed History of the Parti Yorkie (Biewer Terrier)
The Parti Yorkie is believed to have been first bred in the United Kingdom before hitting the canine scene over in the United States in the late 1800’s.
They are in fact, purebred Yorkshire Terriers. When both Yorkie parents carry a recessive gene, the result is the tricolor variation displayed in the coat of the Parti Yorkie.
They were historically seen as undesirable and not valued by Yorkshire Terrier breeders. Parti Yorkies were often put to sleep or quietly given away so that the breeders would not be associated with them.
It was only after a campaign of DNA testing on Yorkie litters proved the Parti Yorkie’s genetic makeup, that the breed was accepted and recognized.
Yorkshire Terriers were initially bred to hunt rats and mice in the Yorkshire mills and mines. They were often sent down dens and burrows to flush out whatever animals were inside for their human counterparts to hunt.
Due to their size, they could easily be carried around by hunters in bags and pockets.
Their history is hard to believe as they have now retired from hunting animals and have instead taken up hunting their favorite human to take a nap on, they are quite the lap dog!
Yorkshire Terriers were officially registered by the American Kennel Club in 1855, however, it wasn’t until around 1870 that the Parti Yorkie was recognized by the American Kennel Club as a Yorkshire Terrier variant.
The American Kennel Club officially registered the Parti Yorkie as a breed in the year 2000, almost 150 years after the Yorkshire Terrier!
