I think the combination would be great. But definitely do not get one of the tiny tiny little Yorkies - the standard size is 5 to 7 pounds and 7 pounds or a little bigger would be much better....and still very small.
My little Yorkie is still a pup (4-5 lbs) and totally wears my 21-pound Bichon out constantly. He is fearless and loves to play. He also loves to play with bigger dogs (lab/retriever mix) that visit. All the bigger dogs he has been around have been very good with him.
English Sheepdogs are usually gentle - and almost all dogs are instinctively gentle with a puppy.
Good luck - Your sheepdog is absolutely beautiful. I'm jealous!!
