So I'm in the Process of helping my sister find the right breeder and yorkie of her dreams. We were reading over the breed standard and disagreed over the description of the muzzle.
Head
Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominent or round, the muzzle not too long, with the bite neither undershot nor overshot and teeth sound.
So what is considered too long? I've looked over the forum and there has been some discussion but nothing really answers this for me. I Think my roxy's muzzle is "too long" according to the breed standard. (Although perfect to me of course.) What do you guys think? This is my Roxie.

She wants a yorkie with a super short muzzle. Based on what I've read I told her it may not be best due to breathing issues. Should we be looking for a roxy type muzzle or something a bit shorter? Athough she wont be showing, she wants the perfect yorkie.
