I think you should go look at the Yorkshire Terrier Club Of America. If your breeder doesn't care about the yorkie standard I worry they may not be the best breeder for the breed. No one should breed yorkies just to breed you breed to better the breed. Temperament is important but being an excellent example of the breed is to. I am very sad that someone has told you there is no non standard to yorkies if there not show dogs. Did your mentor not recommend testing to make sure you don't have puppies with genetic disorders?
