Donna Hall has been active in the Canine Fancy since 1975.  Her
contributions and commitment to the Canine Rare Breed community is
very impressive to say the least.  From traveling abroad internationally to
the many dog shows she has attended as well as being actively involved
with the Ibizan Hound and the Shar-Pei long before their AKC
recognition. Donna is directly responsible for the introduction of the
beautiful Biewer to North American soil. Donna Hall's list of credentials is
a long one to say the least.

Donna's fascination with Rare Breeds came early in her show career when
she acquired her first Ibizan Hound. She was also very active with the
Basenji  breed and did very well with this rare breed in the show ring.
Donna was active in her local club, holding the office of President and was
involved in the very first Basenji Lure coursing Club followed by the Shar-
Pei again before AKC recognition.

While showing her Shar-Pei Donna was introduced to the United Kennel
Club.  The UKC facinated her and gave her another venue in which to
show her Shar-Pei.  Donna's Shar-Pei "Flyers Just Because" became the
very first Champion Shar-Pei in the UKC history. The Shar- Pei was a
lovely breed, however not the correct fit for what Donna was looking for
in a breed.

Donna's love for the toy breed's came to the forefront in 1992 when she
was introduced to the Mi-Ki. She soon started training and then showing
this little breed everywhere she could. There were no stud books, so
Donna took up the reigns and founded the first Stud books on the breed.  
Another UKC judge informed Donna that under UKC rules and
regulations, a breed of dog that was not yet recognized by UKC could be
shown in the miscillaniuos class.  So the first Miki Club that Donna helped
co-found held shows and Donna obtained the very first Miki Club
championship and the first Miki Club grand championship.

It was during Donna's trip to Germany while showing at a European
exhibition, that she was first introduced to the tiny animated little breed
we know today as the Biewer.  Being very intrigued with the splendid
three colored tiny dogs she made arrangements and had the opportunity
to visit a kennel while in Germany.  She ultimately met up with a breeder
and put a reserve on a future breeding.  

On Donna's return to America she set up the very First American "Mother
Club" which was named "The American Biewer Club (ABC or sometimes
known as Biewer Club of America).

Donna began the task of contacting several Rare Breed Clubs and
requested consideration for the Biewer Breed to be exhibited in
conformation events.

The answer was Yes! Donna was successful in getting recognition for the
Biewer to be shown with The International All Breed Canine Association,
as well as the North American Rarities

The first two Biewers to enter the show ring in the USA were Decoration,
a little male, and a female named Delux who was imported at the same
time as Decoration.
Donna continues to work diligently in the Canine Community and is presently
working with the American Rare Breed Association to gain full recognition and
approval for the Miki in 2008 in ARBA .

Veteran.


A very special {{{{{{Thank You}}}}}} to Donna Hall for her commitment and
contributions to the Biewer as well as the Rare Breed Community.  Donna Hall is an
Honorary member of the Biewer Breed Club International and we are very proud to
have her!  
The very first show venue to allow the Biewer was the International All
Breed Canine Association, also known as IABCA, in June of 2003.
Decoration was the first German imported Biewer to receive a
Championship and the First Biewer to win a Best in Show.

The Biewer to receive the most Best in Shows in those early years was
Quigi, a beautiful male with nice bone structure and a perfectly level top
line.  Quigi's show photo taking Best of Breed/Variety where he also took
Best In Show the same day.
The American Biewer Club (ABC) also referred to as the Biewer Club of
America and its membership abided by the original Biewer Breed
Standard set forth in Germany under the UCI/RVD with the reference
number of 00/490. They were partners with the original German Biewer
Club.

Since those historic shows numerous Biewers have been shown at
sanctioned IABCA shows here in the United States and Canada. The
IABCA was the first organization to allow the Biewer to be shown, and
was the same organization that became a part of the historic BEST IN
SHOW WIN.

Until present day, the North American Kennel Club has followed the
Standard submitted by the American Biewer Club and Donna Hall and the
Biewer Breed Club International (BBCI) continues to show under this
Standard and in these fabulous venues.

Theresa Perry and  her beautiful Bitch, Elisa von El Cassius Dio, hold the
prestigious title for Top Female Biewer dog for 2006 and 2007 with the
North American Kennel Club. Elisa or better known as Lilli went on in
2007 to attend the BYTNC Specialty where she finished her fabulous
season with the Best in Specialty Show win.

Many members from the Biewer Breed Club International (BBCI)
frequently attend shows and have won an abundance of Best of Breed, Best
in Group, Best in Show Reserve, as well as a large array of International
and National titles.

We look forward to continuing our relationship with the Rare Breed Show
Clubs and hope to meet up with many like minded Fanciers in the future.  

We are so very grateful to Donna for paving the way and bringing this
incredible Companion Breed to America!
Soon after the Biewer was accepted to be shown in Rarities better known as
NAKC  or the North American Kennel Club.  In 2004, The American Biewer Club
held it's very first National Specialty. The best of Breed winner was Diana.  She
was a beautiful predominately white female with nice bone structure and a
perfectly level top line.
The First Biewer introduction was in the mid 1980's in Europe.  Germany,
the country of origin, continues and remains to be very much divided on
breeding back to the Yorkshire Terrier and this is what keeps the German
Clubs as separate as our North American Biewer Breed Clubs.

From it's inception, the Biewer Breed Club International is the ONLY breed
club who has followed the ABC and continues to breed purebred Biewer to
Biewer since the Biewer's arrival on North American soil.

Many breeders in Germany have over 6 generations of purebred Biewer to
Biewer breeding's without diluting the Biewer breed back to another
breed, namely the Yorkshire Terrier.

Donna was adamant in her belief's that the Biewer should always remain
pure and stand on its own merits as a breed of its own.

The Biewer Breed Club  International continues to work towards
acceptance of the Biewer Breed and continues to mirror some of the work of
the First American Biewer Club.

We are  happy to supply anyone interested with the standard that the Rare
breed venues have followed as well as successfully shown under since 2003.

This Standard would be the Original Standard submitted by Donna Hall *
American Biewer Club*. Donna's huge contribution to the Biewer Breed in
North American was always in the best interest of the Breed, and we are
working diligently to see this continued through our Breed Order and
Ethics  in the Biewer Breed Club International.
