I don't much like tiny...as she only got 3 points before I spayed her because of her size...she wasn't going to be bred. I actually like my bitches being shown in the 5 to 6 pound range personally, even my males. I don't try and have anything over 6 1/2 pounds. Her name was Krissy and she was just a 7 month old puppy at the time but again has since been spayed and ruling the roost. I just believe if you use an oversized male you will continue to get that and that is not what I believe we need to strive for in this breed. 5 1/2 to 6 pounds is what should be in a breeding program personally.
I guess you don't have much show experience if you have only shown two yorkies but maybe that will change when you get the funds to actively start showing. I don't mind a big yorkie and what I mean by big is up on leg if they are over 7 1/2 pounds they shouldn't be bred that is pet quality in my opinion but again that is just how I practice and was taught. Of course I don't breed unless I"m breeding for the show ring and not the pet population LOL
