Hmmm... First of all welcome to YT. I am glad you came her and are asking questions first.
Well, you asked so here is an honest answer...

Sounds like you have things mixed up if you think he is ready to be used as a stud. Unfortunetly there is a lot to it than just having him hook up with a female in heat. Did you know that the stud owner is just as much responsible for the health outcome of the pups. So if you have one born with say a heart problem and the baby needs an operation, you as the stud owner should come to the help and pay for 50% of it. Yes!! That is right. You just do not collect your stud money and that is it.

Secondly, he is way too young to determine if he has the qualities to be bred. As others have stated, he needs to be tested first to make sure he is completly healthy (more than just the usually vet check up is not enough). He needs a full gamit of tests and these are not cheap. Then you need to make sure what his pedigree is. And you need to know the yorkshire terrer standard to see how he measures up to it. Not to mention getting him evaluated by experts.

Not to mention that spraying and crying they make while a female is in heat. I would get him neutered!!
