The Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc. is America's choice for the dedicated Biewer Fancier. We are the only Biewer Breed Club committed to only breeding tested Biewer to Biewer in order to insure the purebred development of the Biewer Terrier. We welcome all persons dedicated to building a solid, healthy foundation for the Biewer Terrier, whether a breeder or a pet owner.
Our concerns lie with the betterment of this breed through our involvement in programs that can educate us on what our breed is and how to better develop it. Our continuous research and study of the Biewer's genetic make-up better equips us to breed to a standard that is uniquely the Biewer Terrier. We can also achieve a better understanding of the possible health issues which may be associated with our breed and strive to alleviate them before they occur.
Although the Biewer Terrier is a relative to the Yorkshire Terrier it is evident that they are not the same breed. With the aide of science we are better able to understand the heritage of the Biewer Terrier and thus put together top quality breeding programs. Working side by side with BTRA we are on the cutting edge of science to give our breeders better tools to help them create SUPERIOR Biewer Terrier Puppies.... the best in health, temperament, structure, and overall quality.
We register all of our dogs with BTRA, the only purebred Biewer Terrier registry in America. BTRA is proud to announce the introduction of a new state-of-the-art testing procedure that tests BTRA registered Biewer Terriers to determine whether they are carriers of various life-altering/life-threatening canine diseases. Through this test, BTRA breeders are furthering their education in perfecting their mating pairs and in turn, are helping to create the healthiest, best quality Biewer Terrier Puppies possible! BTRA is proud to be the FIRST AND ONLY Biewer organization to step into this new scientific realm.
The Biewer Terrier Club of America continues to pave the way for the Biewer Terrier’s purebred acceptance worldwide. We are making the dream that Mr. and Mrs. Biewer began 25 years ago our reality. We are privileged to know that dream because we are the only club that has the backing and participation of Mrs. Biewer.
The American Rare Breed Association (ARBA) accepted the Biewer Terrier Club of America, Inc. as the Parent Club for the breed in Dec. 2007. We made our debut in Jan 2008, at the Hollywood Classic Show in Ca. As the Parent Club for the breed we have set the testing requirements needed to be listed in the CHIC (Canine Health Information Center) database. CHIC is co-sponsored by AKC/CHF and OFA.
