Golddust Terriers seem oblivious of their small size. They are very eager for adventure. This little dog is highly energetic, brave, loyal and clever. With owners who take the time to understand how to treat a small dog, the Golddust is a wonderful companion! Affectionate and loving animals, Golddust Terriers are easy to train, although they can sometimes be stubborn if owners do not give the dog proper boundaries. The Golddust is an excellent watchdog. When owners display pack leadership to the Golddust, it is very sweet and loving and can be trusted with children. The problems only arise when owners, because of the dog’s cute little size, allow them to take over the house. The human will not even realize it. These are truly sweet little dogs that need owners who understand how to give them gentle leadership.
The first Golddust appeared shortly after the first tricolor Biewers, and was initially registered in Germany as the "Biewer White Gold" in the pedigree books. Although the colour was very attractive and interesting it was understood, just as the Biewer was not the correct Yorkshire Terrier colour, that the Golddust was not the correct colour for the standard of the Biewer Yorkshire á la Pom Pon and they were banished.
Over the years the Golddust colour continued to show up. Kirsten Sanchez-Meyer, a genetics biology teacher who lives in Germany, had seen the "Biewer White Gold" and liked them very much. She was very interested in the recessive gene mutation and wanted to study to find out more about the colour mutation of the Golddust. The Golddust colour is produced by a genetic mutation in the skin. The mutation of the Golddust is when Eumelanin (black/brown colour) is formed in the skin but not visible. The pigment Phaemelanin (golden hue colour) is visible in the skin and gives the skin its golden hue. In order to produce this colour occurrence, both parents of a puppy must be a Golddust (which exhibit the gene), Biewer or Yorkshire Terrier that carries the recessive gene (but don't show it in coloration; non-exhibitors).A Biewer/Yorkshire Terrier can be a carrier of the gene and not produce with puppies with the Golddust colour if it is never paired with another carrier of the Golddust gene. Two Golddust parents will always produce Golddust puppies.
