Question

Here is where I am still a little confused.....
I do understand about all of the characteristics, I understand that people want a yorkie that looks like a yorkie.
What I don't understand is why a dog will spray all over the house, just because he has been bred one time? Is it just with dogs that breed all the time that are like that? Let's just say I for instance that I decide after running all the tests, and seeing that after he does get a little older, that he has great genes and wouldn't put any of his offspring at risk of any complications. So I breed him once just to see.... and the puppys are beautiful. And I decided only to breed him once. Would he still mark all over the house, and would it be any different than an intact yorkie that has not been bred?
I have owned a male dog for 7 years and after he was trained to go outside, he never marked in the house. He is a terripoo. Is this something that is different in yorkies alone? And my terripoo has a girlfriend that lives with him and she isn't fixed (he is) and the for the lack of better vocab. on this subject, they have sex.......and he still doesn't spray. Is this a normal behavior?
And my third and final question on this subject...
Would he make a good companion dog if he were only bred maybe twice a year? Or is it all the same, that if he does it at all, then he may as well do the (so called) motherload.
Thank you all so much for your help on this subject.
I am thankful for the constructive critisism. Any advice you give me will help me in making a responsible decision on whether or not I should take the chance and breed my yorkie.
