I already had two Yorkies (5 & 6 lbs) but I was determined to have a tiny. I learned my lesson the hard way. I went back to the breeder I had purchased the other two from and she had a tiny female 14oz. @ 7wks. I didnt know better and I paid $2,500 for her and brought her home @ 7wks. Because I trusted the breeder she didnt give me a vet check info. and I didnt ask for it.. Exactly 10 days later she started having seizures. We checked for liver shunt, low sugar levels, xrays and overnight stays. I cannot begin to tell you the grief my family and I went through and the $$ we poured into trying to make her better. All of a sudden this breeder I trusted turned the tables on me and refused to pay the vet bills. There was never a contract (this was my fault) and the puppy was never checked out by a vet before I got her. It turns out she had a genetic problem. I did return her to the breeder after I got a letter from my vet stating this puppy should have never been sold and I did get my $$ back but not the vet bills. If only I would have known better Its been several months and the wounds are still fresh. My advice to you is ask many questions and read as many posts as you can here on YT. This site is incredibly helpful. I now have a new baby she is 4.5 lbs at 71/2 months and she is very healthy.
