About Biewers
The Biewer Terrier was accepted into the American Kennel Club in the Toy Group in 2021. As the AKC’s 197th recognized breed, this cute little character has all the qualities to become America’s next top dog.
Bred for their beauty, health and temperament, these dogs are friendly, playful, and energetic.
Since these lovable pups are small in stature, they are great for those who live in apartments or homes with or without backyards.
They fit well a wide range of households, from single and senior citizens to families with children. Biewer Terriers make great companion pets and generally get along well with children and other pets.

Biewer Characteristics
Coloring
Biewer Terriers have a piebald colorization, meaning they have irregular patches of colors. Usually their coloring includes white or blueish-white patches over white fur on their chests, legs, and undersides. Their faces usually have black and tan coloring.
Fur
The Biewer Terrier is considered hypoallergenic and fairly easy to groom, though if you let the coat grow long, you’ll need to keep up with daily brushing.
Biewer History
The Biewer Terrier originated in Hunstruck, Germany in 1984.
The breed enjoyed renewed popularity once these dogs were brought to America. In 2021, the AKC recognized the Biewer Terrier as a full, pure breed in the Toy Group.
