Please Note: As of May 2002, Germany enacted the Animal Protection Dog Regulations (TIERSCHUTZ-HUNDEVERORDNUG) in which it is NOW ILLEGAL to dock tails or ears, therefore any docking of tails and ears on the Biewer is considered FORBIDDEN in Germany. So ALL Biewers imported, and shown, in the USA must have uncropped tails and ears. This Standard depicts the original standard, but the current new restriction from Germany will be enforced. Any Biewer shown in the United States or Germany must now be shown in its natural state. Any Biewer with cropped ears or tails will be disqualified.
