Breeding is very risky to the novice. Any breeding runs a risk of losing puppies, bitch and/or you ending up taking care of puppies if she does come through it but rejects them. There are many threads on this forum aobut breeding and the risks and genetic problems carried in the Yorkie. You must be reasonably sure your female is not a carrier of Liver shunt or Legge perthes the two most common genetic problems in Yorkies.
A small male will also not assure small puppies and will not assure small adult Yorkies. The smaller the adult Yorkie 4 lbs and under the greater the risk that he has health problems that could be passed on to progeny.
I have seen a 4 1/2lb male bred to a 6 lb female produce 7 and 8 lbs full size puppies.
The best service you could do to the breed and your nice little pet is to spay her .
