This is what a breeder is trying to sell you when she says she has "doll face" yorkies:

VERY (abnormally) small yorkies may have rounder faces,big bulging eyes that have a bigger gap between them,the muzzle is shorter and their tounge hangs out permanently etc
They call this "doll faced" because it´s "cute",but in reality its usually a sign of sloppy breeding and health issues to come due to the dog being extremely small.
Some yorkies are naturally tiny and have standard sized parents,it happens,but when tiny yorkies are bred on purpose,they tend to have odd looking faces and all kinds of issues.
