On January 20, 1984, Gertrud and Werner Biewer crossed two Yorkshire Terriers with recessive piebald DNA in Hunstruck, Germany, and the Biewer Terrier was born. 

Appearance

The Biewer Terrier is a tiny dog, about the size of their Yorkshire Terrier parent breed. Most are between four and eight pounds in weight and seven to eleven inches tall when completely grown.

Care as a Pet/ In Captivity

Exercise

The Biewer Terrier is a breed that is inherently energetic and needs frequent daily activity to burn off extra energy. But this breed is prone to behavioral issues like digging and gnawing if not given enough exercise in some way. 

As a Toy breed, the Biewer Terrier won’t require much activity; in fact, while they are puppies, 45 minutes per day should be sufficient. Once they are older, this can be cut down to about 30 minutes. Biewer Terriers are not the kind of dog you should bring along for a jog since they just cannot keep up.

Diet

The Biewer Terrier should be fed a low-protein, well-balanced diet because it may have a sensitive GI system. Since canned food encourages the formation of plaque, kibble is advised. Change your dog’s food to one with a lamb or fish foundation if you observe him gnawing on his feet and scratching frequently.  For a little breed with lots of energy like the Biewer Terrier, the perfect diet should be created. These puppies may have a tendency to acquire weight if overfed. 

Grooming

Owners of Biewer Terriers may simply groom them, so you won’t need to seek assistance from a professional. Their fur is smooth and silky, therefore you should brush your dog about three to four times per week, and depending on the amount of tangles, sometimes even daily. Generally, if you notice your dog getting dirty, which could be every week or every two weeks, you should give them a bath. Depending on how odorous the area around the urinal is, some males may need to quickly wipe it down with a cloth every day.  

These puppies usually have long coats, however you can also choose to cut the coat short to lessen the frequency of brushing. Additionally regarded as hypoallergenic is the Biewer Terrier. They are relatively simple to groom due to their small stature and silky coat.
