Mine aren't big either, 5 1/2lbs and 8lbs but this little yorkie was only 3lbs and she was very concerned. The next time the ad came up it noted nobody with small children (I don't have any) or other dogs could purchase her little one.
You know i have always had a 6 pac of yorkies, and all were about the same size within 1 or two lbs. This was before i became a breeder. When you have those tiny ones, it takes a lot of work to get them so they are strong and healthy, and they do best sold as an only dog, however i sell my tiny's in pairs and they just thrive, as the love a snuggle buddy, and someone their size to play with and they eat better when their is competion. So to me it just depends on the person and the situation, that little one will probably make it to 3 1/2 to 4 lbs. full grown, and i think it would probably be fine in your care as you know how to take care of yokies as you already have 2, the only thing i would tell you would to put the little one in a safe place away from the others when you are not there to supervise.
