The Biewer Story
The Biewer Yorkshire ala Pom Pon (pronounced “Bee-vir”) began in 1984 in Germany when the first blue, white and gold yorkie named Schneefloeckchen von Friedheck, was born to Darling von Friedheck a 1981, Dortmund Junior Champion, and Fru-Fru von Friedheck a 1981, Dortmund world Champion on January 20th 1984.
Mr. Biewer’s first introduction of his 3 colored dogs to the show ring began in March 1988 at Wiesbaden. At this time he presented 3 dogs and called them black and white Yorkies.
Other breeders were intrigued with the beauty of the black and white Yorkies, which prompted their interest in breeding these little spotted dogs. Among the first breeders were “Agridesheim” and “Sonnenhof”.
The BDH was against the acceptance of the dogs being a breed of their own. They marked them as “wrong color, not for breeding”. Mr. Biewer was not happy with this decision and began his search for a registry that would accept his beloved Black and white Yorkies as a separate breed. The ACH (Allgemeiner Club der Hundefreunde Deutschland e.V.) was the first club to accept them as a breed of their own. The dogs were then registered as Biewer Yorkshire a la Pom Pon.
It is said that while dining one evening the husband of singer Margot Eskens gave her a Biewer Yorkie puppy on a platter. This celebration may be the very reason that the name “a la Pom Pon” was added. In French it means, Tassel or colorful ball of yarn, which is the perfect description of the puppy’s hair!
