My last yorkie weighed in at 17 lbs, my boy Cody weighs 12lbs. But it's true as far as charging by weight. My neighbor and I use the same groomer, they have a yorkie & a Morkie, both weigh a bit under 5 lbs, they pay less then I do for grooming because their dogs are smaller then mine. I have used many groomers over the years and they do charge by weight. As far as them not listing your dog as a yorkie I would insist they change that in their computer, with me it's just the principal. This company is to big to have a standard weight of 5 to 7 lbs for yorkie hair cut in their computer. My concern would be, if they do not have the proper breed in their computer, say you drop off your dog, they crate the dog until they can get to him, say when they do they look on the computer and see breed unknown, you wind up with a yorkie that has a Cocker Spaniel hair cut. At least you were happy with his cut.
