We are a member of the BTCA, Inc. (Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc.). The BTCA, Inc. was formed to educate the public about the Biewer Terrier Breed and to be able to submit for recognition of the Biewer Terrier to AKC and UKC. You may go to the BTCA, Inc. site for more information. Their breeders have years of experience and are more than happy to help you with any questions you may have. The BTCA, Inc. is directly responsible for getting the Biewer Terrier recognized by ARBA. This is a major step towards the Biewer Terrier being recognized as a breed distinctly its own.
Wikipediaand other informational sites proudly display the history and other facts presented to them by the BTCA, Inc.
Our dogs have been liver shunt tested and OFA patellar certified. You should always ask for proof of liver shunt testing on the parents and patellar testing. If they will not provide you with this proof then beware!If they can't give you a guarantee on the dogs that they are selling you beware! If you are getting a dog from Germany through another person, ask for the name of the breeder! Ask to see the pedigree. If they won't show you, beware! . Look at the web-site of the person you are buying your puppy from, If they are a puppy broker, chances are they are buying their puppy's from a puppy mill! There are unethical breeders everywhere, so do your home work. We think these doggies are the best of the best of all breeds and we don't want to see you have a bad experience.
" I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in me, and I in Him, bears much fruit;
for without Me you can do nothing." John 15:5

The Biewer Terrier is not a Yorkie and we feel the name should not reflect the Yorkshire in any way. For this reason we will be registering our dogs with the Biewer Terrier Registry of America. We are excited about the advancements that have been made toward the recognition of the Biewer Terrier and look forward to a growing relationship with like minded enthusiast.
Look for those breeders that display the
"Breeding for Excellence" BTRA banner. This is your
way of knowing that you are receiving a true,
DNA-Verified purebred Biewer Terrier dog or puppy.
beware! beware! beware!
Beware of people selling Biewer look a likes on the Internet. The breeding of a Yorkie back into the Biewer lines was to be done by the breeder using only a top quality Yorkie, to better HIS/HER line. The offspring of this breeding should never have been sold to anyone for breeding purposes.
People selling these F1's and F2's have usually used run of the MILL dogs, and for no other reason than to make money and ruin the breed. It has nothing to do with bettering the breed what so ever.
We are working hard to establish a purebred Biewer Terrier foundation in America, so watch where you buy your puppy, and look for the BTRA banner of "Breeding for Excellence". So many other registries are registering anything submitted to them with no proof of authenticity and no proof of testing performed on their puppies.
The BTCA, Inc. members have had their dogs DNA tested, to prove they are breeding Purebred Biewer Terriers, and have a DNA profile done on all breeding dogs to prove parentage.
Forums and chat rooms are becoming quite popular and can be a great source of information. Closed forums are not "Public Minded" and are dangerous in the fact that they don't always present the truth. There is no educating the public in this environment.
The BTCA, Inc. is setting up the foundation for a Biewer Terrier Rescue program. This is a program we hope will never have to be used, but as with many new breeds being established, not all people will have the dogs best interest at heart. If you have information about a Biewer Terrier in need please contact the BTR. Thank you for your help and support.
