The following is the Biewer standard that NAKC uses
Biewer Club of America Standard
Biewer
Founded in 2003
INFO: Translated from the UCI Standard of Germany
UCI Reference No 00 / 490
ORIGIN: Germany
GENERAL APPEARANCE: That of a long-haired toy terrier whose hair hangs evenly and straight down each side of the
body, and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail. The animal should be very compact and neat. The tail should be
carried up. The outlines should give the impression of a powerful and well proportioned body.
HEAD AND SKULL: The head should be rather small and flat, not too propionate round in the skull, nor the muzzle too long
with an absolute black nose. The hair on the head is long with colors: white-blue-gold, symmetrically colored.
EYES: Medium size, dark and sparkling with a sharp intelligent expression and placed in a way that they look straight. They
shall not be too prominent and the eye rims should be of a dark color.
EARS: -Small V shaped ears, that are carried erect, and set not too far apart, covered with a short hair.
TEETH: The teeth should be all the same. Either a scissor bite or level bite is acceptable. Premolar faults are tolerated.
FORELEGS: - The legs should be totally straight, well covered with hair.
HIND LEGS –Legs rather straight, well muscled, and well covered with hair.
BODY: Very compact with well formed hips, and a level back line.
TAIL: A complete tail, with lots of hair, carried slightly higher than the level of the back.
FEET: As rounded as possible, with toenails being white or black.
COAT: The hair on the body has a length ¾ down the sides of the dog, or long enough to reach the ground, and is absolutely
straight (not wooly), shiny like silk and of fine silky texture, without an undercoat.
Coloring of the coat of the trunk, and the head piece are as follows:
Rather white or blue-white broken or closely blue absolute, or black, without brown coloring. Hair on the breast, pure white on
the belly, and the legs. The head with White-blue-gold, symmetrical colored.
WEIGHT & HEIGHT: Up to 22 cm in height and a weight of about 3.1 kg.
FAULTS: Any and all differences within this breed standard.
Light colored eyes or eye rims.
Light colored nostrils.
Any ear that is not erect. An over or undershot bite.
Wavy or curly hair.
Please Note: As of May 2002 Germany enacted the Animal Protection Dog Regulations
(TIERSCHUTZ-HUNDEVERORDNUNG) in which it is NOW ILLEGAL to dock tails or ears, therefore any docking of tails
and ears on the Bierwer is considered FORBIDDEN in Germany. So ALL Biewer’s imported, and shown in the USA must
have Uncropped tails and ears. This standard depicts the original standard, but we will enforce the current new restrictions
enacted from Germany. Any Biewer shown in the United States or Germany must now be shown in its natural state. Any
Biewer with cropped wears or tails will be disqualified.
I show my Biewers with the NAKC. Following is the link to their website and the standard that they use for the Biewer.
