I'm no exhibitor but have read that in England a 'hard terrier' look is preferred while in America a less pronounced snout is the preferred look. I have a female with the 'hard terrier' look; she reminds me of a fox a bit. She also seems to be the one that has more of the hunting instinct than my other dogs. I've also seen some people advertising that their Yorkies were from Irish import stock. Does anyone know if there are any particular characteristics among the Irish Yorkies?
