Q. & A. with Irene
Why did you start breeding?
I began by studying both breeds, their heritage, bloodlines- all while competing in AKC conformation events (which helped to better understand the standard one needs to strive for producing puppies).
What makes your program special?
We only breed titled, health tested and OFA CHIC certified pairs.
Where do your breeding dogs live?
They live in my home.

Parent health testing
Belamour Toys • Biewer Terriers & Maltese reports to performing the health tests below on their breeding dogs. Ask your breeder about the tests performed on the parents of your litter. Learn more about health testing for Biewer Terriers.
Eye Certification (CAER, registered with OFA)
Eye testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide range of hereditary eye illnesses including retinal dysplasia, lens luxation, and glaucoma, which can cause impared vision or blindness.
Patellar Luxation
Knee testing reduces the chance of passing down Patellar Luxation, which results in the kneecap becoming displaced or dislocated and can cause mild to severe joint pain.
Brucellosis
A breeder may perform additional tests on their dogs that do not fall into these general categories. These tests may be more uncommon or very specific to a particular breed.
Genetic testing reduces the chance of passing down a wide variety of hereditary diseases of differing prevalence and severity such as Progressive Retinal Atrophy (an eye disease) and Von Willebrand's Disease (a blood disease).
