If I HAD to choose between 3lb dog that had issues, vs a healthy 10 lb dog, I would choose the bigger one.
I NEVER see people looking for a 15 lb yorkie. I think MORE people say they want a yorkie that HAS TO BE less than 4 lbs to dress up. If you want a dog less than 4lbs from someone who breeds for tinies then you need to find a stuffed animal. IMO Buying from people who breed specifically for tinies promotes bad breeding ethics. I wish that people who wanted yorkies weren't so obessed with size. There is so much more to think about.
A standard is a standard. You can't say it's ok to break a standard one way and not the other.
And that will be all i'll be adding to this thread
