The BIRO Biewer
BIRO is a Chocolate (liver) Biewer Yorkshire Terrier caused by a recessive black gene that is of extraordinary chocolate color.
It was in the winter of 2004 on December 1st when the first BIRO Yorkshire Terrier puppy was born, a female called "Art of Highclass Relight My Chocolate Fire", to the Art of Highclass Kennel of famous German breeders Roberto Krah and J. Lutz. It was this female dog that became the first registered representative of the BIRO Yorkshire Terrier breed in the World. The mother of the puppies was "Alisha vom Wasserschlößchen" that gave birth to four puppies. Three of the puppies were Biewer Yorkshire terriers, and the fourth puppy was a female BIRO Yorkshire terrier, who had a chocolate pattern on a white coat instead of the typical black/blue pattern on a white background with a tricolored head.

The Maltese
The 'ideal' Maltese should have black points and halos. Halos is not mentioned in any Maltese breed standard but it is actually there, just in a different wording - black points. This refers to the eye rims, paw pads, nose and lips and they should be a solid black without any other color (not fading, pink or otherwise). Lot's of pet Maltese dogs do not have 'perfect' black points which are ideal for the show ring and highly sought after in the competition crowd.
Halos - are solid pitch black, that circle around the entire eye without any fading or disconnection. They give the appearance of having large eyes and look like the Maltese is wearing black liquid eyeliner. These solid dark rims are not as common as you would think.
No Halos - a Maltese does indeed have colored eye rims, however, they are not a deep black color as can be seen on the nose. They appear to look a dark grey in appearance and don't have the look of wearing black liquid eyeliner.

The Liver Parti
Chocolate Parti also known as a Liver Parti Miniature Schnauzer is because of a gene dilution of black which give this dog its brown based color. Though considered a "rare" color, it has existed in original German breeding lines since the 1800's when the breed was first developed.

Dark Biewer Yorkies
Black is the “default” eumelanin color for dogs. Dogs with one or two copies of K-KB will not express A Locus coat colors: (sable/fawn, tricolor, black and tan, or tan points) and their coat color will be solid in pigmented areas with the final coat color determined by the E and B Loci. This means that it will have a black nose and, usually, brown eyes (eumelanin affects eye color too), and any eumelanin in its coat will be black. Their overall appearance is also determined by genotype at MC1R (E Locus), Brown (B Locus), and other genes. Eumelanin, in case you do not know is one of two types of pigment that occur in dogs. Our First Dark Biewer Yorkshire Terrier named, Raven is from a Traditional Yorkie mother and a BIRO Biewer father.
