However the YTCA states that weight "Must not exceed seven pounds." So a yorkie may be over standard, but it can never be under standard. See http://ytca.org/standard.html for more information. Other breeds of dogs have different classifications such as the poodle whose classifications include, standard, miniature and toy. All yorkies are in the "toy" classification with the standard being 7 pounds and below.

Oh wow.. I've never noticed that before! Thanks for the clarification!
