The weigh is not a disqualifying fault therefore they do not have to weigh the dogs. There are many outstanding champion yorkies that exceed 7 lbs. Proper structure and coat are much more important. Over 7 lbs would be considered a fault just like a bad bite, bad topline, bad front, bad rear, etc. Some judges prefer the larger yorkies and some like the smaller ones.
