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!
