Biewer Terrier Singapore
Biewer Terrier Singapore, the short answer: $3,888–$5,388 from Puppy Singapore, an AVS-licensed seller, vet-checked, vaccinated and microchipped under licence BR25052. It weighs 2–3.5 kg, lives 13–16 years, and HDB names the Yorkshire Terrier rather than the Biewer, which the next section explains.
Said BEE-ver. Below, the difference between this breed and a Yorkshire Terrier, worked out from our own published data for both rather than from breed-club copy.

The three facts that decide this breed for a Singapore buyer
Price: $3,888–$5,388
Published before you enquire. This breed starts at $3,888 and the Yorkshire Terrier at $4,688, so rarity adds no premium here.
Housing: HDB: verify with HDB
The Yorkshire Terrier is on whether HDB approves a Biewer Terrier and the Biewer is a variant of it, not a separate entry. One dog per flat, valid AVS licence, and check what your paperwork names.
The coat is the commitment
Hair that grows rather than shedding has to be brushed and cut for the dog's whole life. That is the real cost of this breed.
How expensive are Biewer Terriers?
A Biewer Terrier puppy costs $3,888–$5,388 from an AVS-licensed seller in Singapore, which makes it the cheaper of the two closely related breeds we sell: this one starts at $3,888 and the Yorkshire Terrier at $4,688. Age, sex and litter move a puppy inside the band, and rarity does not add a premium.
What's the difference between a yorkie and a Biewer Terrier?
We sell both, and we publish the same specifications for every breed on this site. So this is a question we can answer by reading our own data rather than by quoting anybody's breed club, and the answer surprised us too.
Across the seven specifications we publish, all six of them match. Not similar: the same entries.
Biewer Terrier and Yorkshire Terrier, specification by specification
That is not a coincidence and it is not sloppy data entry. The Biewer Terrier began in 1984 as a Yorkshire Terrier litter in Germany that happened to carry a piebald gene, and forty years of separate breeding since has changed the colour rather than the dog.
- What is genuinely different: the coat, which is tri-colour rather than the Yorkshire Terrier's blue and tan.
- What else is different: the price, and it runs the way most people do not expect.
- What this comparison is: our own published data for the breeds we sell, compared field by field. It is not a claim that the two are biologically the same dog, and the two breed standards are separate documents.
- What it means for you: if you like the tri-colour coat, you are choosing a colour rather than trading away anything measurable.
Are Biewer Terriers bigger than Yorkies?
No. Our data gives 2–3.5 kg for both, which is the same toy size class and the same range.
The impression persists because individuals vary inside that range. A large Biewer standing next to a small Yorkshire Terrier looks like a breed difference and is really just two dogs.
How do you pronounce Biewer Terrier?
BEE-ver. Not BYE-er, and not brewer.
It is a German surname rather than an English word. Werner and Gertrud Biewer kept the 1984 litter and developed the colouring into a breed, and it carries their family name.
It is in this page because it is in Google's related searches, which means people are hesitating before they say it out loud. That is a small thing to be uncertain about when you are ringing a seller.
Do Biewer Terriers shed a lot?
Very little, and that is exactly why the grooming bill is high. Our own data rates this breed low for shedding and high for grooming, and those two facts are the same fact.
This is the same continuously growing coat the Yorkshire Terrier carries, so hair stays in the coat and keeps growing rather than falling out on your sofa. We set that out in full on the breed it came from rather than arguing the same coat twice on one site.
- Low-shedding is real and it is why so little hair turns up on the furniture.
- Hypoallergenic is not. No dog is, and what low-shedding does and does not mean is set out on what low-shedding actually means for an allergy.
Which is the calmest terrier breed?
We can answer this across the terriers we actually sell, using the energy ratings we publish for every breed. The pattern is clean: the toy terriers sit well below the working ones.
| Breed | HDB flat | Adult weight | Energy |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Highland Terrier | Yes, approved | 6–10 kg | Medium |
| Yorkshire Terrier | Yes, approved | 2–3.5 kg | Medium |
| Biewer Terrier | Not approved | 2–3.5 kg | Medium |
| Jack Russell Terrier | Yes, approved | 5–8 kg | High |
We publish no calmness ranking, and the distinction matters. Energy is how much exercise a dog needs; calmness is how it behaves in a room. A terrier at medium energy can still be opinionated about the doorbell, and this one is.
Do Biewer Terriers bark a lot?
A fair amount, and it is terrier alerting rather than boredom. This dog tells you about the lift landing, the corridor and the delivery rider at the gate.
It is trainable down to something reasonable and it is not trainable away, and a household or a block where noise is already a sore point should weigh that hardest.
- What works: teaching that the doorbell means going to a mat, from the first week.
- What does not: shouting, which the dog reads as joining in.
- What to expect: less noise, not silence.
Is a Biewer Terrier a good dog?
For the right household, very much so. The conditions are the same as for any coated toy breed, and under the silk this is still a terrier.
| Household | Verdict | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Flat, someone home for part of the day | Excellent | Affectionate, tiny, long-lived and cheap to feed |
| A household that will fund grooming for sixteen years | Necessary | The coat is the ongoing cost and it never pauses |
| Seniors or a single-person household | Often ideal | A companion dog that wants to be with its person |
| Household with toddlers | No | A 2 kg dog and a small child are a bad combination for both |
| A household that needs quiet | Think hard | This is an alert dog, and that is what a terrier was kept for |
What is the lifespan of a Biewer Terrier?
Our own breed data gives 13–16 years, a long life even among toy breeds. We publish the range rather than an average.
What genuinely moves that number is dental care, keeping the dog at a sensible weight, and a harness rather than a collar. None of those are breed-specific and all three matter more than anything on a pedigree.
What health problems do Biewers have?
Knees
Patellar luxation is the toy-breed joint risk. Ask what the parents were checked for, and keep a young dog off jumps down from furniture.
Teeth
Periodontal disease is the predictable expense in a toy mouth over sixteen years. Start brushing in week one, before it is needed.
Windpipe
Tracheal collapse is why any toy breed walks in a harness rather than a collar. Ask your vet at the first visit, and use a harness from the first walk.
What we do not publish
Incidence percentages. In a breed this rare there is less published data than usual, and we will not borrow Yorkshire Terrier figures to fill the gap.
What a good seller answers without hesitating
- What is your AVS licence number, and may I look it up?
- What were the parents checked for, particularly the knees?
- May I meet the puppy in person, and where is it now?
- May I see the vaccination booklet and the ancestry records?
- What will this coat need once the puppy fluff goes?
What a Biewer Terrier costs to keep, every month
The food bill is among the smallest on this site and the grooming bill is not, which is the trade this breed asks for.
Where a Biewer Terrier owner’s yearly cost actually goes
| Line | Typical cost | What moves it |
|---|---|---|
| Grooming | The real recurring line in this breed | A cut on a regular cycle, plus brushing at home between visits |
| Food | The very low end of the $30 to $120 a month band | A 2–3.5 kg dog eats very little |
| Dental care | A predictable expense in a toy mouth | Whether anyone brushes from week one, over 13–16 years |
| AVS dog licence | $15 a year sterilised, $90 if not | Duration and sterilisation status, less a 10% online rebate |
Our price hub publishes what a Biewer Terrier costs here to buy and to keep, breed by breed.
What comes with every Biewer Terrier puppy
Vaccinations to date
Core doses at weeks 6 and 8 before homecoming, recorded in the booklet.
Deworming
Done at every vet visit through the schedule.
Vet health check
A licensed vet clears the puppy before it travels.
Microchip
Implanted and registered, and tied to your AVS dog licence.
Health certification
Written, signed and dated.
Ancestry records
Plus kennel club registration where the litter qualifies.
When your puppy comes home
The timeline is set by the vaccination schedule, not by us. Core vaccinations run at weeks 6, 8 and 12, with an optional dose at week 16, and deworming happens at every visit.
- Weeks 6 and 8: the first two core doses, at the farm.
- Around week 9: homecoming, a week after the second dose.
- Week 12, and optionally week 16: with you and your own vet.
- Year one onward: an annual booster.
The first month with a Biewer Terrier
- Brush from week one, before there is much to brush, so grooming is never a fight later.
- A harness before the first walk, never a collar.
- Start the toothbrush in week one, for a mouth that has to last sixteen years.
- Decide the doorbell rule on day one, because alerting habits set early in a terrier.
How to buy a Biewer Terrier ethically in Singapore
- 1Check the licence. Biewer Terrier Singapore breeders are licensed individually, so search the AVS public registry for the seller's number. Ours is BR25052, held by William Goh Pet Farm LLP.
- 2Ask about the knees and the parents. What the parents were checked for, and whether you can meet the mother.
- 3See the puppy in person. Viewing is by appointment. Watch it move on its legs, which tells you more in a toy breed than how it greets you.
- 4Read the paperwork before you pay. Vaccination booklet, health certification and ancestry records.
Adoption, honestly
Biewer Terrier Singapore rescue is a real search, and the honest answer is that a breed this rare very seldom appears in local rescue. There simply are not many of them here.
If adoption is what you want, a Yorkshire Terrier is the far more likely find, and by every specification on this page it is the same dog in a different colour. That is the most useful thing this comparison can do for somebody.
Who a Biewer Terrier is not right for
- 1 Anyone who will not fund grooming. Sixteen years of cuts is the actual price of this breed.
- 2 Households with toddlers. Bad for the dog and bad for the child.
- 3 A home that is empty all day. A companion terrier left alone becomes a vocal one.
- 4 Anyone buying for the colour alone. The coat underneath the colour is a sixteen-year commitment.
About the breed
The Biewer Terrier arose in 1980s Germany from a rare piebald colouring in Yorkshire Terrier litters, developed into its own tri-colour toy breed.
Two Yorkshire Terriers each carrying a recessive piebald gene produced a litter with white patches, and rather than treating that as a fault the Biewers bred toward it. Everything else about the dog came along unchanged, which is why the comparison at the top of this page reads the way it does.
A working ratter bred down into a lap dog is still what you have underneath the silk: bold, opinionated, and convinced it belongs on your chair.
Biewer Terrier compared with the breeds buyers weigh against it
| Breed | HDB flat | Adult weight | Grooming | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Biewer Terrier | Yes, approved | 2–3.5 kg | High, cut regularly | $3,888–$5,388 |
| Yorkshire Terrier | Yes, approved | 2–3.5 kg | High, cut regularly | $4,688–$5,388 |
| Morkie | Yes, approved | 2–5 kg | High, cut regularly | $3,288–$5,388 |
| Maltese | Yes, approved | 2–4 kg | High, cut regularly | $4,288–$5,988 |
The Morkie is a Yorkshire Terrier crossed with a Maltese, so three of those four rows share the same ancestor. This corner of the toy world is more closely related than the names suggest.
Where the figures on this page come from
- The Yorkshire Terrier comparison: this site's own breed data for both breeds, compared field by field at build time rather than typed, so the finding and the figure cannot disagree and neither can drift from its own breed page. It compares what we publish about the breeds we sell. It is not a claim that the two are biologically the same dog, and the two breed standards are separate documents.
- AVS licence BR25052 and how to verify it: the NParks public registry of AVS-licensed pet breeders, checked 26 August 2026.
- HDB-approved breeds and one dog per flat: HDB's own pet rules, confirmed in a browser on 25 August 2026 (the host blocks automated requests).
- Puppy price ranges, adult weights, lifespans, grooming, shedding and energy: the same breed data, reviewed 26 August 2026, read at build time for every breed in every table.
- The 1984 origin and the pronunciation: the breed's documented history in Germany and the surname of Werner and Gertrud Biewer. No phonetic claim is made beyond that the name is German and is said BEE-ver.
- The terrier energy comparison: the energy rating we publish for every terrier we sell. It is not a calmness ranking, and the page says so.
- Knees, teeth and windpipe: the breed health notes maintained on this site. No incidence percentage appears for any of them, and no figure is carried across from the Yorkshire Terrier.
- Dog licence fees: the AVS licence fee page, read 2026-08-26. The published table these figures come from was headed "before 1 September 2026" and that date has now passed. AVS has scheduled a new fee table from 1 September 2026. Re-checked on the AVS fee page on 26 August 2026: the replacement had still not been published, and the live page still showed only the "before 1 September 2026" table, last updated 31 October 2025. Treat the figures as the last published schedule and check the AVS page before relying on them.
- Buyer-check guidance: Southend Dog Training and The Poodle Mom, quoted above with links to the source videos and used for the reasoning rather than as authorities on this breed.

Biewer Terrier questions, answered
How expensive are Biewer Terriers?
A Biewer Terrier puppy from an AVS-licensed seller in Singapore costs $3,888–$5,388. It is worth saying that this is the cheaper of the two closely related breeds we sell: this breed starts at $3,888 and the Yorkshire Terrier starts at $4,688. Rarity does not add a premium here. The price includes vaccinations to date, deworming at every visit, a vet health check, a microchip, health certification and ancestry records.
What's the difference between a yorkie and a Biewer Terrier?
On every specification we publish for both breeds, nothing. Same size class, same 2–3.5 kg adult weight, same 13–16 years lifespan, same shedding, grooming and energy ratings, and HDB names the Yorkshire Terrier, which is the entry a Biewer traces back to. The two real differences in our catalogue are the coat, which is tri-colour rather than blue and tan, and the price. That is not a coincidence: the Biewer Terrier began in 1984 as a piebald-coloured Yorkshire Terrier litter in Germany, and forty years of separate breeding has changed the colour rather than the dog.
Are Biewer Terriers bigger than Yorkies?
No. Our own breed data gives 2–3.5 kg for both, which is the same toy size class. Individual dogs vary within that range in either breed, and a large Biewer beside a small Yorkshire Terrier will look like a size difference when it is really just two individuals.
How do you pronounce Biewer Terrier?
BEE-ver, not BYE-er and not brewer. It is a German surname rather than an English word: Werner and Gertrud Biewer bred the first litter, and the breed carries their family name. It is in the related searches because people hesitate to say it out loud, and that is a small thing worth removing before you make an enquiry.
Is a Biewer Terrier a good dog?
Yes, for a household that suits any coated toy breed. It is affectionate, portable, long-lived, cheap to feed, low-shedding and it fits a flat. What catches people out is that under the silk it is still a terrier: bold, opinionated and quick to tell you someone is at the door.
Do Biewer Terriers shed a lot?
Very little, and that is exactly why the grooming bill is high. This is the same continuously growing coat as the Yorkshire Terrier, so the hair keeps growing instead of falling out and has to be brushed and cut rather than vacuumed up. Low-shedding and low-maintenance are not the same thing.
Do Biewer Terriers bark a lot?
A fair amount, and it is terrier alerting rather than boredom. This breed tells you about the lift landing, the corridor and the delivery rider, and it is trainable down to something reasonable rather than trainable away. A household that needs silence should look at a different group of breeds entirely.
Which is the calmest terrier breed?
Among the terriers we sell, the toy ones sit well below the working ones on the energy ratings we publish. The Biewer Terrier, the Yorkshire Terrier and the West Highland Terrier all sit at medium or below, and the Jack Russell Terrier alone is rated high. We publish no calmness ranking, because temperament varies more between individual dogs than the labels suggest, and energy and calmness are not quite the same thing.
What is the lifespan of a Biewer Terrier?
Our own breed data gives 13–16 years, which is a long life even among toy breeds. We publish the range rather than an average. What genuinely moves it is dental care, keeping the dog at a sensible weight, and a harness rather than a collar.
What health problems do Biewers have?
Ask about the knees first, because patellar luxation is the small-breed joint risk worth raising with any seller. Teeth matter over a life this long, and a harness rather than a collar is the standing rule for any toy breed. We publish no incidence figures, and in a breed this rare there is genuinely less published data to work from, so we will not borrow Yorkshire Terrier numbers to fill the gap.
Is the Biewer Terrier HDB approved?
Not under that name. HDB names the Yorkshire Terrier on its list of 62, and the Biewer Terrier is a tri-colour variant of that breed rather than a separate entry on the list. In practice what matters is what your dog’s paperwork says: if it reads Yorkshire Terrier you are looking at a named breed, and if it reads Biewer Terrier that is worth confirming with HDB before you buy rather than after. We are not going to tell you it is approved when the list does not use the word.
What comes with a Biewer Terrier puppy?
Vaccinations to date with the booklet, deworming at every vet visit, a vet health check, a microchip, health certification and ancestry records, plus kennel club registration where the litter qualifies.
