This is where we raise our Biewer Terriers
The Biewer Terrier
The Biewer Terrier is an elegant, longhaired, dedicated, loyal family member and a friend to all it meets. It is not uncommon to be met with a smile from this happy-go-lucky dog.
With a larger than life personality, its lighthearted, childlike whimsical attitude, its only purpose in life is to love and be loved will keep you entertained for hours.
Carrying around a toy is not uncommon.
In spite of its small stature it is hearty and athletic, able to keep up with the best of them on long walks, hikes or competing in the agility ring... the length and activity level must be age appropriate of course.
What makes us different?
Our Mission
My husband and I enjoy our dogs living with us. We make sure that the puppies are raised right so that they are a delight to their new owners. Our Puppies are socialized, very friendly and cuddly.
The puppies will be started on toilet training before they go home (Pee Tray and outside...weather permitting).
HAPPY PUPPIES, HAPPY OWNERS!

Our Story

Bringing Elegance & Heart to Canada: Judith Maynard’s Passion for Biewer Terriers
For Judith Maynard, founder of Exquisite Biewer Terriers, breeding dogs isn’t just a hobby. It’s the fulfillment of a lifelong dream rooted in both love and perseverance.
“As a young woman, I always imagined breeding Yorkshire Terriers,” Judith recalls. “But family life took priority at the time.” Years later, with the opportunity to revisit her dream, she began researching breeds with one of her sisters. That’s when the Biewer Terrier caught their attention, a rare and eye-catching breed that was almost impossible to find in Canada at the time.
That moment sparked a journey filled with learning, patience, and resilience. Judith dove into researching responsible breeders, import regulations, and genetic health. “We faced many disappointments in the beginning ranging from questionable paperwork, poor breeding practices, and receiving dogs that didn’t meet expectations,” she admits. “But despite the challenges, after nearly three years of persistence, we imported a small foundation of healthy dogs from Europe and officially launched our breeding program.”
From the start, health and temperament were at the core of Judith’s vision. Every breeding dog in her program undergoes comprehensive health screening, including DNA testing for over 230 hereditary conditions, eye exams, and patella evaluations. Breed-specific tests are repeated every few generations to ensure the continued health of her lines.
Today, Exquisite Biewer Terriers is proud to be part of the Biewer Terrier Club of Canada Inc. and active in CKC Conformation Shows, even producing the first Canadian male champion in the breed’s history. “We’re honoured to be part of the breed’s legacy in Canada,” Judith says.
What Makes the Biewer Terrier So Special?
According to Judith, the Biewer Terrier is more than a pretty face. “They’re elegant and longhaired, though most are kept in a manageable puppy cut,” she explains. “They’re loyal, social, and often greet people with what looks like a genuine smile.”
This cheerful disposition is matched by their surprising athleticism. Despite their small size, Biewers can keep up on hikes and even excel in agility, as long as activities are age-appropriate. “They’re playful, loving, and full of personality. They often are found carrying toys around just for fun,” Judith laughs.
A Perfect Fit for Many Homes
One of the breed’s greatest strengths is its adaptability. “The Biewer adjusts to their owner's lifestyle,” Judith says. Whether you live in an apartment or a house with a yard, the Biewer thrives as long as its need for interaction and play is met. “Even if you don’t have a yard, they’ll burn off energy with indoor zoomies,” she adds.
Clearing Up Misconceptions
Like many toy breeds, Biewer Terriers are sometimes misunderstood. “People could claim that they’re hard to housebreak, picky eaters, or that their coats are too high maintenance,” says Judith. “But with proper training, nutrition, and grooming routines, those assumptions just don’t hold up. They’re no more difficult than any other breed when raised responsibly.”
Why Timing and Readiness Matter
Judith also stresses the importance of being truly prepared before bringing any puppy home — not just Biewers. “Think of it like preparing for a toddler,” she says. “Your house needs to be puppy-proofed. You’ll need a safe space like a crate, pen, or gated area for when you can’t supervise. And if you have a vacation planned when your puppy is ready to go home, then postpone pickup. It’s better for the pup to stay with the breeder a bit longer than experience unnecessary upheaval during that critical adjustment phase.”
