It would appear that the Parti Yorkie Gang in America have come up with some conclusions regarding the Streamglen Kennels in the UK, and claim that this kennel were the originator's of the colour White in both Herr Biewers' Yorkie, because he owned Ch Streamglen Richard & Flora, and the Nikkos Kennels owned and bred Streamglen Milady. As I have said many times the Streamglen kennels in Bolton, Lancs were Champion breeders and Mrs Mary Waldram was herself a top judge for the breed. Herr Biewer began his breeding programme arounf the 1970's and after some years it is said he produced his new coloured dogs and called them "Biewer Yorkshire Terrier a la Pom Pon" when the colour Black/White/Gold first showed up in his kennels in 1984. Then in 1996 the Nikkos Kennels in America miraculously happened to have this "Parti" colour show up one of their dogs (how convenient!).
Champion Streamglen Richard has sired many Yorkie with the correct colours (no white there then!) and here is a brief line of breeding which was done BEFORE he went to Germany by his owners Mr & Mrs Waldram, Bolton, Lancs:
Streamglen Richard was bred to Streamglen Sweet Charm and produced Streamglen Little Richard, he in turn was bred to Streamglen Marcella and produced Streamglen Jubilee Gay Boy. Streamglen Minivet Tempest was bred to Streamglen Gay Anita Sire and Dam to Streamglen Marcella. (ALL TRADITIONAL COLOURED YORKIE!)
Ch Blue Flash of Streamglen was bred to Streamglen Lindy and produced Streamglen Shaun, who in turn was bred to Charmalain Sweet Lolly Pop, and they were Sire and Dam to Charmalain Sweet Melody. Streamglen Blue Escort was Sire to Lolly Pop (ALL TRADITIONAL COLOURED YORKIE).
So please do not tell me that the Streamglen kennels were responsible for holding a mysterious piebald gene, for generations, which only showed up in the Friedheck kennels and the Nikko's kennels. This is one of the most rediculous statements I have ever read, and the Parti Yorkie clan in America have made a few, like "Nikkos Rolls Royce Ashley being the winner of Crufts" again more false info remember Deb my dear!
We have Streamglen dogs progeny in the United Kingdom, who have ALL either sired or whelped Yorkshire Terriers of the correct colours: Blue/Tan. So unless you have more credible research as to how the white got into a breed of dogs, who have NEVER before in history held a colour white, move on and move over.
I am certain that colour was bred into the dog! either by accident at the Biewer "Friedheck" kennels or purposely bred into them to achieve the wanted colour white, and the Nikkos kennels simply jumped on the Biewer band wagon, as it is a well known FACT his dogs sold for ALOT more money then a traditional coloured Yorkie, and today your "Parti" dogs are sold as "Rare". Another false statement to unscrupulously con, the public into believeing they have a fancy of a breed, that no one else has! So my advice to the "Parti" gang is this, now you have started to produce an almost ALL WHITE dog, which does NOT resemble Herr Biewers' Biewer Terrier (the official name for the breed, as agreed with Frau Biewer, and accepted by KUSA) is this: You are now buying Biewer from German breeders/American breeders and popping them into your AKC registered Parti Yorkie, WHY? This type of breeding makes your so called pedigree parti's (which although classed as a pedigree (Joke), do not meet breed standard and as such are NOT able to be shown as conformation correct colour classification). I will tell you why, because although for years you have been trying to attain the colours of Herr Biewers' dogs, you have been unable to exactly get his breed type correct, you have washed out white Yorkie (FACT). And now you breed Biewer to your Parti Yorkie to get the colours you require in your endeavours to authenticate your comments, that your Parti Yorkie are the same dogs as Herr Biewers' dogs.
Drrrrrrrrrr.
Had the Streamglen dogs been the kennel responsible for the colour white to show up in his dogs, we would of had those colours in the United Kingdom, WELL before Germany and America. Streamglen Richard has progeny to this day living in the UK, and they are NOT white dogs, they are traditional coloured Yorkie (FACT). The same goes for Flora and Milady siblings, all traditional coloured Yorkie. The Streamglen kennels dogs were sent all over the world, why have these so called piebald genes not shown up any where else, except in two kennels in 1984 and 1996, because the colour White was bred into the Yorkie, and the picture to the right proves Herr Biewer had a nice little white dog with black points to use in his breeding programme with is many Yorkie bitches, he had over 60 at one time, that is NOT just a breeder and shower of dogs, it is a kennel who having had a litter of 3 Yorkie, who lacked pigmentation, the breeder decided to continue that mutation colour to design a new colour and indeed breed of dog. That's how new breeds are made (FACT). That's where all the designer dog craze came into being, and please don't think the 21 century breeders were the first to create these new designer dogs, as this is how ALL dogs came into being, and it was only when Mr Cruft in England decided to create a pure bred dog register in the 1800's that thousands of mutts suddenly became pure bred dogs! (FACT)
Breed standards are required, as to safe guard the pure breeds, and when a colour shows up within a breed of dog that has NEVER before shown this colour (white, as in the Yorkie) it is NOT a recessive piebald gene...it is a mutation and in the case of the "Part" "Biewer" phenomenon, it was an introduction of other breeds, being used to create those new colours (FACT). History is the indicator of the true colours, conformation and standard within a breed of dogs, and the Yorkie since it's conception around the 1850's! yes that's right the 1850's!!! has NEVER been a White dog with a Black saddle on it's back (FACT).
