So if you see those words on a website you can be sure that the yorkie your buying hasn't been health screened. For a list of ethical breeders see this list. http://www.ytca.org/breeder4.html

What you're looking for is a yorkie with shorter muzzle, and just make sure you see the parents, don't trust pictures only.
No reputable breeder will advertise that they breed "baby doll face yorkies". They may breed yorkies with a shorter muzzle as muzzle length is about preference to the individual breeder. But a true "baby doll face" is an extremely short muzzle with round eyes and an apple-domed head..not at all correct for the breed. I do like the shorter muzzles but I do not want an apple-headed yorkie.

The Pastoral line our of Canada tends to have shorter muzzles...you might look into her or other breeders that have her lines.
