Yes, anything up to 7lbs is within the standard.
Here is what the YTCA says:
All breeders may occasionally have an unusually small Yorkie (hopefully healthy), though no responsible breeder breeds for this trait.
Many breeders prefer a general weight range of 4-7 four pounds believing that size retains desired Toy qualities while maintaining optimum health. The Yorkie Standard states weight "must not exceed seven pounds" and as a prospective pet owner you should realize that even at 7 pounds, the Yorkie is still a small dog. (
Females weighing less than 5 pounds are considered by most breeders to be unsuitable for breeding.)
