It could be worse! Some people don't dock the tails anymore and prefer them that way. "Dew claws" don't always cause problems and can be removed later, if necessary. "Floppy ears" may be helped to become upright or the pups ears may jump right up on their own. I see a lot of floppy-eared Yorkies on YT that are much-loved pets. Some people prefer floppy ears. Weight - shouldn't really be an issue for a pet. Large Yorkies are still small dogs and look how many of us have larger Yorkies and love them to pieces.
A "Silky." It's especially hard to tell Yorkie and Silky pups apart. They are very similar.

So - someone will probably get a cute little pet Yorkie for $450. If I liked one of the puppies - I'd probably buy it!!!!!!!

Carol Jean- I completely agree with your post because all dogs- even the most poor representations of any breed can make a wonderful companion. However, when the breeder says that the tails naturally come short and the puppies won't have dew claws because their parents don't- she's extremely ignorant on the breed. Plus, how observant can she be to not even notice that the puppies do, in fact, have dew claws? If she couldn't open a book to read even the most basic information on the breed, I'm not interested. I wouldn't expect her to have even heard of LP or LS if she doesn't know about tail-docking. What appears to be a deal now could end up costing thousands or could end up being a heart-breaking situation. It's far too risky of a deal for the buyer, IMO.
