Biewer Terrier Puppies for sale in Bronson, Florida

The main difference between a Biewer and a Yorkie is their origin - Biewers are a separate breed that originated from Yorkshire Terriers, while Yorkies are a recognized breed with a longer history. Biewers also typically have a different coat pattern and color variations compared to traditional Yorkies.

Biewer Terriers can be considered high maintenance due to their long, silky coats which require regular grooming to prevent matting and tangling. They also require regular exercise and mental stimulation. However, they are generally easy to train and have a friendly disposition.

A Biewer Yorkie typically lives between 12 to 15 years. However, with proper care, diet, and regular veterinary check-ups, some can live up to 16 years or even longer.

Biewer Terriers, like many small dog breeds, can be prone to certain health issues. These can include patellar luxation (a knee condition), dental problems due to their small mouths, and portosystemic shunt (a liver condition). They may also be more susceptible to certain genetic disorders.
