| I have a question This may seem like a silly question, but I have noticed that a lot of your babies have really nice sized faces. Is this something that we should look for in a puppy? I know that some little faces are more like teddy bears, and baby doll faces, but Chloe has such a tiny little face. Her hair is growing and this makes her face look bigger but not as big as some. She is such a little cutie pie. She is 12 weeks old now and weighs almost 2 lbs. Her Vet did say she was very petite, and very healthy!!! She doesn't have a long nose, but I quess she is more like a teddy bear. Here is her most recent picture. Joy, Nikki and Chloe Rose |

| Your baby is a real cutie and you should be very proud of her. The breed standard that show breeders follow says "Head~ Small and rather flat on top, the skull not too prominant or round, the muzzle not too long..." Janet Jackson in her book, A New Owners Guide to Yorkshire Terriers, interprets the standard as follows in this area: [COLOR=RoyalBlue]"The Yorkshire Terrier puppy should have a pretty face with very dark, medium sized eyes...Hold the puppy and look at the angle at which the muzzle comes out from between the eyes. Although the yorkie should have a lot of stop or definition as the muzzle meets the foreskull, the muzzle should come straight out from below the eyes. A down angle to the face, referred to as "down-faced" is not very attractive. Muzzle lengths vary from long to short. Muzzle widths vary from very broad to snippy and pointed. Beauty here may lie in the eyes of the beholder."[/COLOR] I do not agree with all of the standard as written because I do not agree with tail docking and some other things, but it is a good place to start as a new fancier of the breed to study what the "experts" like. I, personally, prefer big eyes and a short muzzle, the so-called babydoll look that is not the standard according to the YTCA, but not everyone does, so this is where you will, with time, develop your own ideas of what "look" you may like best. And, if you are not going to breed or show and your yorkies are for "lovin' only", then whatever you like if it is healthy is still all yorkie and is perfectly okay!

| Thank you everyone for the kind words. I do think she is beautiful also, but it sure is nice to have great Yorkie Talk friends that you can share your thoughts with. I was just a little concerned that she could have problems down the road with her teeth, etc. I quess our babies just come in all sorts of shapes and sizes!!!!! Joy |

| you've got nothing to worry about! nugget was so tiny @ 12 weeks, and now hes 6 1/2 lbs at 4 months... but still tiny in size. as for the face... they all have a different bone structure depending on their blood line. if youve seen the vet and he said she is petite.... of course he is gunna say that, yorkies are tiny! judging by your worries, i'm sure you'll do everything to make sure she is healthy and i'm sure she will be fine! good luck |

| She is absolutley adorable! Elyzabeth has a teddy bear face, and is more fur than face. But it is hard to resist, even though she never ever behaves like a little lady! |
