When I look at most show yorkies, they seem to have a good amount of length to their legs. |
That is true...I thought show yorkies were more "even" as far as length and height...
General Appearance
That of a long-haired toy terrier whose blue and tan coat is parted on the face and from the base of the skull to the end of the tail and hangs evenly and quite straight down each side of body. The body is neat, compact and well proportioned. The dog's high head carriage and confident manner should give the appearance of vigor and self-importance.
Body
Well proportioned and very compact. The back is rather short, the back line level, with height at shoulder the same as at the rump.
