That's what they are counting on: sure they'll take her back if she gets over 5# but they are counting on you caring so much about the pup you wouldn't bring her back. But I think it's nice they are concerned that should you not like her you'd bring it back to them rather than just 'rehome' her to any person. At least they are willing to work with you. I think breeders know that the average person looking for a Yorkie would prefer one in the 4/5 pound range and realizes that should the pup get very large that wasn't what the person was looking for (which is the buyer's right). Personally, I couldn't let a dog go after raising it for months -I know no one can 'guarantee' a certain size Yorkie, but if there's the potential for it to be "big" I think a good breeder will be honest with you and let you know.
My first yorkie has long legs and in a full coat and I will admit it flows beautifully. One of her pups has longs legs, but like the other poster they seem so 'willowly' - and she did end up falling and hurting her leg (though has since recovered fine)...her brothers though tall enough are all "boy" - thick muscular legs - very sturdy. I always feel I'm going to break the long legged "runt" (3.5#) whereas the boys I never worried about that. Thus having ended up with a "little" yorkie now if I were looking to buy one I would definitely choose a more sturdy one.
