Your female is 17 months..not too young IMO, the pups would be born when she is nearly 19 months...but that would depend on her size and pelvic structure...we all differ on these things, but most show breeders I know breed in the 16 to 18 month range...
IMO the best you can do for this Yorkie is to spay her now.

Most of the breeders I know do not breed prior to 18 months of age but, prefer waiting till 2 and basing it not only on their structure, but their mental maturity.
