The 'standard' for Yorkies is 'not to exceed 7 lbs', not 7-8 lbs. (I think sometimes there is a confusion between "standard" and "average".
Also, there is no such thing as a miniature Yorkie...no micros or teacups either.
To answer your question, mine range from around 8 lbs, all the way down to 2.5 lbs. To me, the ideal size would be around 5 or 6 lbs. Still within the breed standard, but no so small that so many extra precautions have to be taken, as I have to do with my smallest one.
