I don't think he is to old to breed and I wouldn't be overly concerned with his weight, especially since your girl is 10 lbs. Alot of breeders don't think the weight issue is acceptable, but your girl might end up having small puppies like the grandparents. I have a mommy who is 5 lbs and the daddy is 3 1/2 lbs and their puppies who are now grown weigh 4.2, 4.8, 7.4 and 7.5 all from the same litter. And the grandparents are the same size as my mommy and daddy. Not everyone wants a teeny tiny yorkie. Good Luck to you.
