PLEASE NOTE:
As of May 2002 Germany enacted the Animal Protection Dog Regulations
(TIERSCHULTZ-HUNDEVERORDNUMG) 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 Biewer's imported, and shown in the USA or Canada must have un-cropped tails and
ears.  This standard depicts the original standard, but we will enforce the current new restrictions
enacted from Germany.  Any Biewer shown in the United States, Canada or Germany must now be shown in it's
natural state.  Any Biewer with cropped ears or tails will be disqualified.
