Disney,

I've not seen any pictures of Champion dogs on here that look like that.

Am I allowed to link to someone's dog? I probably have it wrong anyway.

Best not.....People do get protective of their dogs.

Well I'll rephrase. I love the type of facial structure the champion dog I saw on here has, whatever that ma be, it's good breeding!

How's that?

My Charmer in my Avitar has shorter muzzle. I prefer a bit longer.....

I can't really see her face, I'm not wearing my specs but the tan in her coat is very pretty...How can I see your albums? I would love to see your yorkies.

Charmer is a boy Ch. This Time I'm Here Let's Party.

I usually don't post pics of my dogs, just old fashioned that way....

Oh, okay! Didn't mean to pry, just interested in seeing reputable breeders dogs, I really want to get a better understanding of what to look for in yorkie. I know what to look for in breeder, but I want to see photos of show quality puppies as I want to show my future yorkie. (Not breed though.)

PM your e-mail address and sometime tomorrow I'll send you pics of some of Champions and some of their offspring.

By the way, you weren't prying....I'm just a bit wierd when it comes to my dogs.

Thanks you so much! Even though I've read the standard so many times I think I need visual aids to understand, perhaps that's my English coming through. I'll PM you my address.

You might want to go onto the YTCA website and order the illustrated standard.

I considered it but I first wanted to know if the standard is the same internationally?

Let me expand; if one studies the Illustrated Handbook, which breaks down the AKC/YTCA American Standard....the standard is explained more in detail there.

However, to have a pleasing well balanced head...you would measure as follows: The distance from the tip of the nose to the outer corner of the eye, should be the same distance as from outer corner to outer corner of the eyes....

The correct term is a softer looking head. Or a pretty head.....Completely different from a baby doll head; baby doll heads tend to be apple headed.

Hmmm, I just measured Uni. Tip of nose to outer corner of eye is the same as outer corner of eye to outer corner of eye! Ok Mary, does that mean I get to breed Uni. LOL!!! I'm just kidding. Next I'm going to find out that big ears are standard too.

I personally can't tell the difference...I think they all have "Baby doll" faces. Each one is so wonderful. I never knew how much I would fall in love with mine....I can't imagine my life without them.

Remember Uni has long legs, we determed she'd look beautiful in the ring, in full coat.

Well if you read within the standard, ears are mentioned too. But, some indication on this too and keep in mind you want a well balanced head; Ears too tall, bat ears, too wide at the base, sitting on the side of the head (eastie westie ears, a tight ear set is preferable).....ears project animation in a dog.
