It's certainly a possibility if one is purchasing a puppy that is registered with some of the alternative registries. That is not to say I haven't seen AKC registered yorkies that are not good representations of the breed.
The real debate boils down to whether one thinks someone should breed against the standard....although to be quite honest...there are plenty of "standard" yorkies who are no where close to the standard.
