I prefer a shorter to medium length snout. I have seen some with a really long snout and that just does not appeal to me. I guess it is just all in the eyes of the beholder! Speaking of eyes though, I am sure that you have all noticed that Yorkies seem to have so much expression in their eyes. I love , love, love the looks that Yorkies can give- such additude, inquisitivness, alertness! YORKIES ARE THE BEST!
