My Lucy is 5 mos old. My vet said he'll spay at about 7 mos. I confirmed that time frame with my breeder (because some people have suggested to allow her to go thru one heat cycle.) My breeder said 7 mos. is fine too.
About the teeth, my vet also said he waits until the big teeth are ready to come in. That way, while she's under anesthesia for the spay he'll remove some of the baby teeth that haven't fallen out yet.
It's a decision that you and your vet should make. It all depends upon whether he can tell if her adult teeth are ready to come in. If not, then he might pull the baby teeth and your baby will be toothless until the adult teeth are ready to push through. From what I understand, yorkie teeth may not come exactly at the time they're supposed to.
So I think your vet has to look her over and determine whether it's the right time to do it.
