As for the roller coaster ride, sometimes it takes a year or longer for everything to come together. All bloodlines are different. Show breeders usually evaluate the puppies at 8 weeks and 12 weeks. If the pup has good balance and good topline at 12 weeks then there is a good chance that is what the end results will be. Puppies do go through some awkward stages. I find one of the best ways to evaluate the conformation is to wet the dog then stack them and see how their bodies look. From the pictures you posted of your puppy on the other thread I think she looked just fine. She will probably come up more on leg. To me her tail was not too gay but I don't know how she looks when she moves. Four to six months can be an awkward age. If she is just four months old then you just need to be more patient. Is she from good show bloodlines? Do you know the strengths and weakness of the sire and dam? Remember there is no perfect Yorkie but for show they need to be basically sound and have proper coat, you can get away with a couple of small faults.
