| Genetics, breeding. Different lines of Yorkies have different looks.

| I read somewhere the reason the faces and tails are gold is so the miners could tell they were not rats in the mines. With the bodies being dark they could not see them in the mines, and I guess they may have looked like the rats they were breed to hunt? So the pointy noses helped them get the rats ueeewwwww I love the pointie noises and the not so pointed of my shih tuz also.

| Aren't the longer ones for helping to groom the face - kind of like a handle. Darwin's nose is longer then Mabel's and it's soooo much easier! |

I know--- right!! Drowned rat is more like it. My babie is tooooo sweet to be a rat or a rat killer, but she sure likes it when I hide her toy and she has to dig under a pillow to find them. She also likes squeekie toys ...... hmmmmm

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | The face is one area that the breeder has some leeway with. The standard says: Quote:

| Tabby's is pointy. Does make for a good handhold for grooming What does "small ears" mean? I think Tab's are HUGE. And they're adorable. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | As pet owners we don't really need to be concerned with standard, although I think it's important for puppy buyers to support those breeders who follow standard. I mean we can have a pet who's ears are little large or whose nose is a little long, but it still resembles a Yorkie, however if breeders breed whatever the want, the dogs eventually will not even retain the yorkie look. No dog is 100 percent perfect, unless they are a pet!

| Skeeter has kind of a smooshed up face. I think it makes him look like a perpetual puppy! |
