If you'll notice in a lot of the pictures of hungarian puppies, they have the dogs so overangulated and their tails smooshed up so hard they have "U" shaped toplines.. I have no idea why they do this as the dog COULD look nice if it were stacked correctly. I will stand behind what I said before, I think a LOT of hungarian dogs have very very very steep shoulders, and otherwise extremely poor fronts, which among other things, makes for a very untractive topline.

I know my girls have great toplines since they are here with me at home and have grown up here. I see them move and they are great! If my one girl was bad representation, I know the owner of the stud I used would not have lt me breed to her male. She is picky too and very well respected.
Like I said before - you can have great and bad yorkies - no matter where you go in the world. Please do not classify all dogs bad in one country just because you Think so. Get your hands on some and see some more. And my other girl won over many other yorkies at a Speciality show (actually two Speciality shows). She showed well. Her color is unbelievable and so is her silky coat. But most of all I am very picky about structure. A good dog must have good bone structure - it is the foundation of the dog.
I have seen a lot of really bad representation of dogs here in America too, but you do not hear me say that many dogs here in America have bad toplines. It is because you will see bad and good toplines in all countries.
My last photo was just stacking a puppy and I know how she stacks with me. Nothing wrong. I was just sharing a photo of her when she was young and she does not look that bad.
Okay - you believe what you want and I know what I believe. We agree to disagree. I own both American and Hugarian Yorkies and I like them both. I feel them, see them move, and they live with me. If they had a bad topline - I would know about it and they do not.
