The Biewer Terrier (pronounced “beaver”) is an elegant and charming tri-colored companion dog that captures hearts with its striking appearance and delightful personality. Originally developed in Germany by Werner and Gertrud Biewer in 1984, these enchanting dogs were created through a recessive gene occurring in Yorkshire Terriers, resulting in their distinctive tri-colored coats.
