I'm afraid your breeder was really a broker so you have no way of knowing his genetic background. I'm certain his original breeder didn't bother to health test his parents so you have no idea what genetic time bombs he may be carrying and could pass on to his offspring.

Did you know that Yorkies are thirty-six times more likely to have a liver shunt than all other breeds combined? And that shunts are inherited? Breeding a dog with an unknown background is irresponsible. Please get him neutered and just enjoy him as a wonderful pet.
