I hope you can find another alternative to this because Yorkies are not safe outside. It is very easy for a Yorkie to get overheated, even in the shad and it gets very warm in WV. Also, there are lots of predators due to the Yorkie's small size. Hawks are just one. Even a squirrel can do nasty damage. Also, Yorkies are dogs that are meant to be with people, not just left outside alone.
If you have no other option, please at least build some kind of area for him that would be completely fenced all around and on top so nothing can get to him, along with some kind of house so he can escape the elements and make sure he always has fresh food & water. We may be partial here, but Yorkies are not like other dogs and certainly not like big dogs!!
