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!
