Biewers von Lamel

Melanie L.

Certified Breeder of Biewer Terriers

Meet the breeder

I'm the breeder behind Biewers von Lamel located in Shirley, MA. My goals are good health, soundness in structure, as well as elegant type through diverse pedigrees. All of my breeding dogs are DNA profiled, health tested and enrolled in the UC Davis Genetic Diversity Study. I believe in transparency and cooperative breeding with the principles of population genetics. Biewers von Lamel is recorded in the AKC.

Q. & A. with Melanie

  • Why did you start breeding?

    I purchased my first show dog, a Lhasa Apso, in 1991. I became interested in the Biewer in 2012 and have been active in Biewer clubs and forums ever since.
  • What are the different breed coat colors in your program?

    Our puppies include blue tan and white and black tan and white. Colors will vary depending on the parent dogs.

Breeder-Reported Testing

Great level

Biewers von Lamel 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.

  • Cardiac Evaluation (registered with OFA)

    Heart testing reduces the chance of passing down congenital heart disease, which can cause a range of symptoms ranging from trouble exercising to heart failure.

  • 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.

  • Thyroid (Autoimmune Thyroiditis, registered with OFA), Kidney Disease (UPCR), Brucellosis, Legg-Calve-Perthes (OFA), Standard Veterinary Blood Panel

    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.

  • DNA Profile, Degenerative Myelopathy (DM; SOD1A), Full Embark Panel, Chondrodysplasia/Dwarfism, Chondrodystrophy and IVDD Risk (CDDY-IVDD), DNA Coat/Trait Panel, Hyperuricosuria (HUU)

    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).
