Hence my problem. I pray she does not go into heat until I can have him neutered.

I don't know who "they" are, but my "they" told me it was safe at six months old to have yorkies spayed and neutered. Darwin was around 5 pounds when we got him neutered, but Mabel was only 3 pounds and I was really worried but everything went great. Do the preliminary blood tests to make sure things are safe first. You will end up with a very smelly home with your male marking and a litter of puppies, possibly without a mother. Breeding these little dogs is a serious thing and many do not survive giving birth. I would think this is much more dangerous then having them spayed and neutered. Good luck and I hope you get them to the vets ASAP!
