Build has a lot to do with weight but I just wonder if the people you are meeting really know how much their Yorkie weighs.

I have had experience with a lot of Yorkies through rescue work and my mother being a breeder. My personal preference is that I would never buy a Yorkie that I knew was going to be less than 5 lbs. They just get hurt way too easily.
Well, I would think that they would probably know. Especially since they only grow up to a certain time.

I would say that they were probably all around 6 or 7 inches tall. I just remembered that I used to have a friend who's wife had a Yorkie and she was about 3.5 lbs from what I remember.
