as most of you know yorkies were a lot bigger when they were first bred but over years and as fashion changed they were bred down in size just for looks.

Okay, I'll say right up front that I could be entirely off, so I hope that someone with more knowledge shows up to comment....
...but my impression has always been that, smaller sizes (ie: smaller than say 10 lbs! I'm not talking teacup sizes here!) were ALWAYS a desired trait when this breed started being developed, because of the whole purpose of them (fitting into small places as rat hunters).
And I'll throw up another comment fully admitting that I need someone to educate me....but, for the people desiring LARGER yorkies, why not move on to the Silky breed? With all the teapot yorkies that exist, it's already very hard sometimes to tell the difference between the two. And Silkies are adorable and wonderful dogs in their own right!
