I just dont see the need for a muzzle on a Yorkie!
Very clear you have never had a small dog with mental health concerns. It is not possible to always get them up when a dog coming at you is off leash and on you before you even have a chance to go oh crude we got problems. You got two dog trying to greet and one is not happy it not easy to get them air born in in arms.

You get one air born that wants to kill you got a small dog rolling around in your arms looking to bite at anything and everything cause it is afraid of what just came at them. You got a muzzle on you got a chance to maybe keep the reaction down to manageable ,you may even be able to keep them on the ground and if not it has a muzzle on and is in arms it is not you wearing its teeth. You got a lot happening at times very fast so taking the teeth out of it can keep your little one alive.
