As a breeder I cannot imagine someone breeding a 2lb yorkie. That poor little dog.
As far as weights go, it really depends more on genetics than anything else.
Not that I'm an expert on the subject but you hear of two small dogs having huge offspring.. hence somewhere (possibly grandparents) were huge.

My stud is 5 1/2 lbs but the majority of his offspring are tiny. I know that he has teenies in his background and at the same time have thrown a couple of very large pups that ended up being about 9/10 pounds as adults.
Just my little humble output.
Thanks
