Judging the Yorkshire Terrier

The Yorkie in the middle is the best example of the right Proportion.
Yorkie C is acceptable but a little short backed.
Yorkie A is too long.

Yorkie B is the best propertioned in this group of dogs.
Yorkie A is too short in leg.
And Yorkie C is too long in leg.

Yorkie B has the best ear set of these three dogs.
Yorkie A's ears are too wide spread.
And Yorkie C appears to have his ears tied up.

Yorkie A in this photo has the correct ears.
Yorkie B has rounded tips which we call Bat ears. Whatever you do stay away from this it is very hard to get rid of.
Yorkie C has a tulip ear also very hard to get rid of.

Here we are looking at head carriage and Yorkie B is correct.
Yorkie A has too short of a neck.
And Yorkie C too long of a neck.

In this set of Yorkies we are looking for a correct Topline.
Yorkie A is very roached.
Yorkie B appears to be down in the shoulder.
Yorkie C is the correct one in this photo.

Pay careful attention to muzzles.
Yorkie A is very downfaced.
Yorkie C is too short. When you get too short you get a round eye and a Pekinese mouth. Too wide a jawline and very narrow in the front.
Yorkie B has the correct muzzle.

Here we're looking at Forelegs/and Front Assembly.
Yorkie A is too wide and bulldog looking.
Yorkie C is too narrow.
Yorkie B has a nice straight and even front.

It's easy to see the colors here,
Yorkie A is too light.
Yorkie C is black.
Yorkie B has the beautiful blue coat.

Looking at the tail length here we can see that Yorkie A has the right amount of tail.
Yorkie B is too short and Yorkie C is too long.
When you're cutting a tail you should cut at the tip of the tan into the black and your tails will always be the right length. Don't get into the gold and don't get too far away from it either.

Tail Sets are so important. They should be like Yorkie C in this photo and carried at a 45degree angle.
Yorkie A has a low set tail.
Yorkie B is too "gay" pulled too far forward out of that 45degree angle.
