Papers don't guarantee anything about how a Yorkie will look as an adult. In fact, if the papers are from any other registry than the AKC, there is no guarantee a puppy is even purebred.
Responsible breeders take great care to produce puppies who will grow up to look as close to the Yorkies standard as possible. Puppy mills (pet shops) and backyard breeders just put two pet quality dogs together to produce puppies for profit. The result is unpredictable.
