Biewer Yorkie puppies for sale in Miami

Biewer Yorkies are tiny dogs with cheerful, outgoing personalities. They are playful and curious, love attention, and often act like they are much bigger than they are. Many owners describe them as a little more easygoing and clownish than a typical terrier.

They bond closely with their families and like to be part of everything, from errands to couch time. Most are friendly with visitors and other pets, though they will bark to let you know someone is at the door.

Like most toy breeds, they can be sensitive and do not like being left alone for long. With gentle training and plenty of company, they grow into confident, happy little companions.

Biewer Yorkies share many of the same health concerns as other toy breeds. Knowing them helps you spot problems early.

• Luxating patella A kneecap that slips out of place is common in toy dogs. You may notice skipping or holding up a back leg.
• Dental disease Tiny mouths crowd teeth, so plaque and tartar build up fast. Retained baby teeth are also common and may need a vet's attention.
• Liver shunt Some lines carry this blood vessel problem, which keeps the liver from filtering blood properly. Signs can include poor growth, stunted size, or odd behavior after meals.
• Sensitive digestion Some lines tend to have touchy stomachs, with loose stools or vomiting after a sudden food change or rich treats.
• Low blood sugar in puppies Very small puppies can drop their blood sugar if they skip a meal or get chilled or stressed.
• Collapsing trachea A weak windpipe can cause a honking cough, which is one reason a harness is better than a collar for small dogs.

Ask about health testing for the parents. Ask about patella checks, eye exams, and any liver testing. A good source should be glad to talk about the health history of the line.

Call your vet if you notice: a honking cough, limping or skipping, bad breath or red gums, vomiting or diarrhea that does not clear up within a day, weakness, wobbling, seeming confused after meals, or a puppy that will not eat.

Pet insurance is worth pricing out while your puppy is young and healthy, before any condition can be listed as pre-existing.

Heat and humidity. Biewers handle Miami heat only moderately well. Walk early in the morning or after sunset, bring water, and keep midday outings short. Test the pavement with the back of your hand for 7 seconds. If it is too hot for you, it is too hot for paws. Never leave your dog in a car, even for a few minutes. Signs of heatstroke include heavy panting, drooling, bright red gums, weakness, vomiting, and collapse. Move your dog somewhere cool and call a vet right away.

Pool and beach safety. Tiny dogs tire quickly in water and cannot climb out of most pools. Supervise closely, use a small dog life jacket on boats and at the beach, and rinse off salt water and sand afterward.

Air conditioning and drafts. Toy breeds can get chilly in strong AC. A cozy bed away from vents helps, especially for young puppies.

The Biewer coat is tri-color: white combined with black and tan, or with blue and tan. Most have a white chest, legs, and belly, with color on the head and back. Markings vary a lot from dog to dog, and puppies are born darker, so the final look settles as they grow. The coat is a single layer of long, silky hair with no undercoat, so it sheds very little. Still, no dog is fully hypoallergenic, since allergens also come from skin and saliva.

Biewer vs. Yorkshire Terrier. The Biewer Terrier was developed in Germany in the 1980s from Yorkshire Terriers, and the AKC recognized it as its own breed, the Biewer Terrier, in 2021. A purebred Yorkshire Terrier is blue and tan, or black and tan as a puppy, without the large white areas. Biewers also keep a natural, undocked tail in their breed standard. Size, coat texture, and care are very similar, and many owners find the Biewer a bit more laid-back.
