Personally I think 7 lbs maximum for a yorkie is to small. I agree with Michelle that a height limit might be more fair. Those exhibitors that show regularly pretty much know their competition and the size of the dogs they go against. Those experienced exhibitors usually know what kind of yorkie the different judges prefer.
Of course it is not always easy to predict what a judge will do because it really depends on the competition on each particular day.
