I have had people ask me for a larger type Yorkie..10 to 15 pounds. I perfer to TRY to breed to the standard and produce type.
I do not think it wise to breed a larger Silky to a Yorkie. I am not into mixing the breeds, but if a breeder did..most would do the opposite..a small stud to a large girl to reduce the size of the pups, but not the number.

The pedigree is only as honest as the breeders behind it. AKC means nothing and everything...just depends on the honestly of the breeders behind it.
BUT..if a dog is not AKC, then it coudl be anything, maybe pure, maybe not.
AKC can look at photo's and tell you..I have seen many Yorkies who look like Chewy..nothing wrong with him as a pet, he is a darling boy. IF he was sold to you as a larger Yorkie at a lower price for a non-standard type Yorkie, then all is fair.
Some breeders are not concerned with the standard and their pups look more Silky then Yorkie...I DO NOT hit a home run with each pup. I, also do not repeat a breeding if I miss the ball by a mile.
