It's pretty obvious that some of the show breeders are breeding Yorkies for a shorter snout as well as other things. In the show business there are usually trends towards particular looks. I didn't realize at first that Yorkies were doing the baby doll look but when I saw what was winning in the ring it was pretty clear though I don't think they would call it baby doll.
There are good and bad breeders in the show world but the ones that care about their reputation are breeding to the standard and arent breeding for a small muzzle. There are also health problems that can come with small muzzles and they are aware of that.
