Fortunately the Yorkshire terrier is a moderate breed, whereas some breeds that the article talks about are bred to be extreme in some feature. Yorkies tend to have shorter muzzles and are not quite so terrier headed as they once were, but they should not have overly short muzzles. Coat texture and quantity coat is said to be of prime importance in our standard, and coat has improved dramatically over the years. However, some breeders have neglected good structure and movement for the beautiful coat. While we want gorgeous coat, there should be a structurally sound dog underneath all that coat.
