My Sophia has given you very good information. I don't know any good breeders that would be interested in your male. Is he from a champion line ? Even if he is, it would be unusual for a good Yorkie breeder to use him, if you are not showing him. Another thing is his size. Most breeders want a smaller male. My little stud dog was 3 pounds 11oz. He also had a high sperm count which is important. Is your Vet well known for AI and fertility ? Is your Vet able to collect and ship frozen sperm.
Not only should your dog be in excellent health, His pedigree should be researched at least 3 or 4 generations for health issues. My Sophia mentioned testing. This is expensive and an absolute requirement for any Good breeder to be interested. He should be very close to the AKC standard with a beautiful coat, bite, top line,the best colors, with small V shaped ears. ( See AKC standard) He is very young to have all these things. Most stud are older and have all their adult features.
Do you have a safe secured place to keep a female in season ?
Do or would you have professionally designed computer programs with breeding contracts etc.. ?
It is not easy to be a real stud owner. Your reputation is everything. Good breeders are very selective about studs. And small private breeders usually have their own stud.
Back Yard Breeders may pay for an unproven dog. Although I have never heard of that being done, mostly they trade stud service for a puppy.
Please think really hard about this and research everything you can.
In my heart I don't think you are sure about this. IMO neutered males are the perfect pet. Stud dogs are more interested is breeding than being your companion.
