Mr. Biewer continued breeding his colored Biewers to achieve their white
bellies and four white paws. In 1989 the Biewer was accepted as its own breed with the ACH German e.V.

North America's Biewer a la pom pon History
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 credential is a long one to say the least. Donna's fascination with the 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 fascinated her and gave her another
venue in which to show her Shar-Pei. Donna's Shar-Pei Flyers 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 miscellaneous 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 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. The very first show venue to allow
the Biewer was the International All Breed Canine Association, also known as the 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.
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 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 North American Kennel Club has followed the Standard submitted by the American Biewer Club and
Donna Hall. The Biewer Breed Club of America (BBCA) 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 of America, Inc. (BBCA frequently attend shows and have won an abundance of Best of Breed, Best in Group, Best Bred By,
Best in Show, 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!
