My advice would be to contact breedrs and tell them what you are looking for. I would avoid breeders who use the terms "teacup", "tinies" "micro minis" etc, as they are purposely breeding for the tiny ones and are not real concerned with the health of the dogs.
All breeders will occasionally get a smaller one but you want to avoid those who breed specifically for them.
Another thing to consider, would a pound or two really make that much difference? a 4 to 5 pound dog is still a very small dog, they easily be carried around and are not so fragile.
