Do your husband's bosses actually show? The terms "show quality" and "show potential" are tossed out quite often, but unless the owners actually show it is quite unlikely they are show quality. Show breeders work very hard to breed show quality puppies and still many are pet quality. Those are the ones they place in pet homes, the ones with small imperfections.

If you want a Yorkie puppy who will grow up to look like a Yorkie is supposed to, go to a show breeder.

This is great article written by a Maltese breeder that explains it well.
