I'd say the average weight is about 7 pounds. Mine is about about 5 1/2 pounds and she's 2. Of course there are yorkies that weigh 3 - 4 pounds fully grown. I read somewhere in breed standards that yorkies are not to exceed 7 pounds, but don't quote me on that.
Not sure about a 10 pound yorkie being a runt. Lol. If the yorkie is purebred, maybe he/she is not getting enough exercise or is eating too much. Just not sure about that.
