The Yorkshire Terrier standard does not have any qualifiying weight other than not over 7 lbs. Now what you will find is that as show exhibitors, we show usually dogs in the 5-7 lb range. The reason for that is that we don't breed girls under 5 lbs as they are just too small. Personally I would never take a chance on maybe a dog dying just for puppies. Anything over 7 lbs is just too big and as such loses breed type and no longer looks like the breed it's claiming to be. Type is what distinguishes one breed from another. In this instance what would make it different then a Silky.

So is your dog a purebred, well again like everyone else says a picture would help, but that will not even confirm it. Makes me wonder why it's registered with the organization you mention. At this point I would just love her as a pet. Good luck.
