Frequently Asked Questions

Are Biewer Terriers the same as Yorkshire Terriers?

No. Biewer Terriers are tricoloured and genetically different, although they are related.

Do Biewer Terriers bark a lot?

They are watchful and are likely to bark at some new sounds; they can, however, be trained to be calm.

Are Biewer Terriers hypoallergenic?

They are not furry but rather have hair, and they are also not very prone to shedding, making them easily allergy-friendly as compared to other breeds.

Is the Biewer Terrier easy to train?

Yes, they are highly intelligent and very willing to please, but can be a bit stubborn like the Terriers.
