A good breeder will have a waiting list of other good breeders that they stud out to, or they have their kennel that they breed within.

As far as puppies sleeping that much? No way. They do sleep a lot, but they are short frequent naps several times a day. As soon as they wake up they need to be taken to their potty place, whether it be outside or on pad. Not going to get house broken in 3 months. Yorkies are notoriously hard to house train. Uni was pretty good, and even then at 6 months, I considered her house broken, but not 100% reliable.

Lastly, if you absolutely must have a full grown adult at no bigger than 4 lbs, the only way to guarantee that is to get an adult. They stop growing at about 1 year, but they still put on weight and "fill out" until about 2 years. No breeder in their right mind would guarantee the full size of their puppy. They can only estimate.
