Gemy, once again you bring a wealth of information to the table. The point you made about a judge telling you, "don't bring me what can be finished, but what should be finished" that really makes a lot of sense to me. I was thinking of this conversation and I came across this article:

Born To Breed Dogs | Best In Show Daily | 2014

In the article there is a quote from a successful breeder of Japanese Chins and Pomeranians in 1902.

"Mrs Addis attaches more importance to type and quality than size, and likes small ears, set on high, broad, square faces and muzzles, with abundant coats of good colour and texture, in all of which I agree with her, and she also emphatically shares my views that in all Toy or Pet varieties one’s motto should be: “As small as possible, without sacrifice of type and quality.”

I thought the message from that quote was the same message I was hearing from experienced breeders here on YT. You guys are the best.
