You realize I never asked for a breeder that specifically bred for that size, correct? All I asked for was recommendations to breeders that forum members had used and that have pups available or would be having litters soon. I am well aware that there are runts often born to litters and this was what I was originally hoping to find.

Again, as was posted by cj125, here is a list of breeders by state who are listed in the Yorkshire Terrier Club of Ameria, where you may find reputable breeders:
Dog Breeders Map List- The Yorkshire Terrier Club of America

In addition, here is some information on ethics from the Yorkshire Terrier Club of America on the size of Yorkie you're looking for:

Try not to take anything personal. Because everyone's concern is only with the puppy's health. Hopefully you can take a step back and see this too.

But you're absolutely right. No one can control how small a dog you want to buy, after being made aware that there are such high health risks involved. We can only inform you on what's general knowledge, such as the information in the above link about Teacups. And with this knowledge in mind, we cannot recommend further action to do something we don't believe in. It is rather unfortunate. And there are several red flags.

If you're insistent with your plan, then where you fly to pick up the tiny Yorkie is beyond that and maybe more of a discussion you could have with your family and bf instead.
