Perhaps instead of carrying your future furbaby in a purse you could invest in a nice dog stroller. It would be much better for your back. That way you won't have to worry about the weight and he or she can still go places with you. 7lbs is a standard and great size for a full grown Yorkie. You may find a rescue that weighs less but keep in mind that the very tiny ones a lot of times come with health issues and that could be another challenge.
