As the video starts, a black loading screen appears with the question, "What makes you happy?" The clip begins with the rhetorical answer "this," as the cute little Biewer terrier pup named Benny is seen posing, playing, and frolicking. "That Baby is so Beautiful," notes one commenter, as another refers to the overly fluffy pooch as "angelic." A few others post pics of their own furry friends that give them all the feels, because dogs definitely have a knack for bringing smiles to people's faces, especially when they're so darn adorable.
Facts about Biewer terriers
Biewer terriers are said to have first originated in the 1980s when a couple with the surname Biewer, hence the dog breed's moniker, bred two purebred Yorkshire terriers that carried a recessive piebald gene, resulting in tri-colored spotted puppies.
Biewers are similar to Yorkies in many ways, including both being classified as a small toy breed usually weighing no more than 8 pounds, but they have some distinct differences. The Biewer is always tri-colored (usually mixing white, black, and tan) while the Yorkie is typically black and tan. Meanwhile, Biewers are said to be calmer and less vocal, with Yorkies being considered more high-energy and feisty.
In terms of the recessive piebald gene that creates the tri-colored coat, the unique trait happens when both doggy parents carry the color mutation, which can be hidden within two Yorkshire terriers (as the Biewers discovered). So, two standard Yorkie parents can create piebald puppies if they are both carriers, and, of course, two Biewer parents will propagate piebald pups. Either way, we're sure they'll be just as adorable as Benny the Biewer!
