Biewer Yorkie

[Dimon]

Biewer Yorkies are not your typical lapdog. Courageous and stout-hearted, the Biewer Yorkie has a feistiness that's lovable and slightly contagious. Easily trained and highly intelligent, this breed is also known for its independence. Biewer Yorkies are people-oriented dogs, craving activity, involvement and attention.

Like other small breeds, Biewer Yorkies are not aware of their size. They assert themselves around the house with an endearing self-confidence, and they get along well with other dogs. Intensely protective, the Biewer Yorkie make a perfect pint-sized watchdog.

The Biewer Yorkie can live as long as long as 15 years. Because of its size, it can develop some health problems including hip and joint issues, poor digestion and tooth decay. Dry, solid food will help keep its teeth strong and healthy. Be careful when holding or carrying the Biewer Yorkie, as it can be fragile.
Biewer Yorkies should be groomed regularly, including daily combing and brushing. The hair on their heads can grow long, so it's sometimes necessary to tie it in a band or hold it in a clip to make seeing and eating easier.
