I will only get another pet spayed if I can be convinced it will have notable health benefits, and even at that, they may enjoy a long and healthly life without ever been spayed/neutered.

I think a lot of the spay/neuter campaigns are to prevent unwanted puppies, and I dont think this is a good enough reason to take that risk.
Good luck on your search for a Yorkie, male or female.

I recommend the following article for spay/neuter health risks. I think spay/neuter is okay for most, but needs to be done for the right reasons.
