The Standard (or as close to it as possible) is what breeders strive for....it's a goal, but not all yorkies meet it or even come close. A silky coat is of "prime importance" in a show yorkie, but not all yorkies have beautiful silky coats, just like in a human family, not everyone always has exactly the same hair. By breeding dogs with excellent coats, breeders hope to get offspring with excellent coats, but that's not always the case.
