Where Biewer Terrier enthusiasts come together to support each other and our beautiful breed, including those adorable Biewer Terrier puppies and the charming toy dog characteristics that make them so special. As an AKC recognized breed, we celebrate our love for these delightful companions.
Golden State Biewer Terrier Fanciers was founded in late 2023 by a group of fanciers who want to have fun with their toy dogs and promote the Biewer Terrier breed in California. In 2025, we were licensed by the AKC and hosted our first event -- a concurrent specialty -- at Harvest Moon Classic in Santa Rosa, California. We are excited for what's to come for Biewer Terrier Fanciers and the future of our puppies in California!
The founding Board is comprised of Breeders, Handlers, and Fanciers who share a passion for growing and developing our beautiful Biewer Terrier breed. We are dedicated to promoting the AKC standards and ensuring that our puppies thrive in loving homes, showcasing the charm of this exceptional toy dog breed.
