Once a person starts studying and understanding the correct structure of a yorkie or any breed for that matter it is hard to look at a dog without wanting to 'pick it apart'. I think this is a common practice among show people and not meant to be done in a mean manner but just a natural response, especially when looking at show dogs. All dogs have faults, some are just more obvious than others. Some faults are easy to hide with proper grooming and handling skills while other faults cannot be hidden.
For those that are interesting in showing and learning how to train a puppy for show this is a very interesting website. It does not pertain just to yorkies but it has just good basic information on training a puppy for show.
