Yorkie standard size should be 5 to 7 pounds. A "reputable" breeder would not use the words tiny, small, little, as a reputable breeder breeds to standard size (5 to 7 Lbs). That is not to say a reputable breeder would not have a smaller puppy in a litter, it happens often, but not deliberately breeding for "tiny" pups. Tiny pups are very fragile, much care must be given to owning these tiny 3 + Lb lil critters, as adorable as a tiny is they have more health issues, fragile bones, they cannot jump off high things like sofas or beds, there is danger of breaking bones. In my opinion I would not buy from littleyorkies because it is very clear she breeds for under standard puppies and hides that fact.
Finding a honest and reputable breeder is work and time consuming but pays off in the end with a good, healthy puppy that falls into the standard weight. Good luck on your quest in finding that perfect puppy.
Happy Holidays to you and your family.
The standard is actually not to exceed 7 pounds no minimum. That also seems to be the size lots of people use for males. But she is a little to crazy with tiny so I do think spot on with that.
