Welcome to YT
I am so sorry for your loss.
My now passed girl weighed in at 17 lbs, she had beautiful sleek body, her picture in is my album, a side shot of her sleek body. Unfortunately breeders do not breed for bigger yorkies, society wants tiny dogs, "arm jewelry"!!!! There are good breeders that every so often will have a larger puppy but they are far and few between. YT has had several ppl asking the same question as you. Getting an older dog, not a baby puppy, a rescue may be the only way to get what you're looking for. In 2013 I adopted a 2 1/2 year old boy weighing 12 lbs, tiny to me after having a 17 lb girl for 17 years.
