I would ask if the pups are being health checked by vet before sale, are u getting a vet health certificate, maybe even get the vets number and give them a call regarding the breeder. Make sure eyes and nose look clean and clear, hair silky.
If your getting a AKC registered dog, give AKC a call and make sure breeder is in good standing, maybe even type breeders name or kennel name if they have one in a internet search engine to make sure there have been no negative postings about the breeder. Also no breeder can guarantee you how much a dog will weigh as an adult..it is just an estimate by what their size currently is. Yorkies are small to me in general...the breed is a toy breed and dont usually get big. I believe breed standard is 4-7lbs. It really isnt much either way so be sure that what u want is a doggie that will weigh only 2-3lbs as adult. They are way more fragile, may get hypoglecimia often, their lifespan may be shorter. Goodluck
