Not knowing who your breeder is and it's none of my business. However, unless your breeder is line breeding and knows her line she can only guesstimate the size of a yorkie she can not guarantee. I don't know how old these pups were when you obtained them. But, a reputable breeder would/should not place place pups intended for breeding prior to the age of 7 months of age. You can't know prior to that if the dogs are of breeding quality and all tests that are required have been completed.
I don't know if you've bred before or this is an initial start, but you can't put the blame entirely on the breeder. The initial investigation, study of breeders and foot work has to be done by you.
