We were looking for a larger yorkie as well - because we have Ringo, the 16 lb, hulking Westie!
We ended up with Lucy - who at 5 lbs, is still very tiny, compared to Ringo. Honestly, he could hurt her if he wanted to and his play is much rougher than hers. He could hurt her even inadvertently - but they are rarely alone together; someone is most always here.
I can't imagine bringing home an even smaller dog to try and play with Ringo. When he is trying to chase her around - we encourage him to put a toy in his mouth because his 'play bites' are so much rougher than hers. She seems to like it though because she is always bugging him and pawing at him to play. Just requires caution.
Sounds like you have made your decision for now - and it seems to be a good one. When we got Lucy - we asked for the largest puppy in the litter and she was it!
