Hi! Welcome to YT!

Ok, you'd like the puppy to look like a puppy forever? I think that's why alot of people fall in love with Yorkies but... all dogs grow up. If it's the color that you're talking about (black & tan) that is the normal coloring for all Yorkie puppies but most change colors for the next couple of years. You will see some that do stay black & tan, like my girl, but that's not the breed standard so that's not what the breeders are trying to reproduce.

As for the haircut - that's much simpler to do. It's just called a "puppy cut". Most groomers know how to do it. Just make sure to tell them not to shave the body too close.

The weight that you're asking about is not an ideal weight, especially with a small child around. I'm assuming that's your baby in your avatar.

The standard Yorkie should weigh 7 lbs and under and most would say 5-7 lbs is ideal. There is NO way to tell how much your Yorkie is going to weigh. Unfortunately, the breed has been bred with so many different and out of standard dogs, that it's become almost impossible to know what your puppy will end up weighing. As with any dog, there will be a smaller or larger one in each litter. Being born small doesn't mean it's going to stay small. The best way to tell how big your dog will be is to buy a full grown one. The next best way is to get to know a breeder who has been breeding for many, many years and knows her "lines" and then you might have a good idea of what's to come.

Here's a link to the American Kennel Club (AKC) and the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America (YTCA). They have a lot of information about size and color etc.
