It mostly pertains to the snout area, the shorter the snout the more babydoll type face it has. If you look at a Yorkie sideways you will see all different length snout/nose areas. The standard for show yorkies leans toward a shorter snout but not pushed in like a s**tzu, or with bulging eyes. Breed standard yorkies should be petite dogs and that does not just mean in weight but also in body parts, like the snout, the ears, the head, the leg length etc. (I don't mean micro mini petite either). There are few websites that I have seen that push this babydoll look to an extreme but I also think some of their pictures are photo shopped. And as others have said if you see the words babydoll, teacup, toy, etc in an ad for a yorkie that is just a description not a breed. |
