Perhaps if you can post the full range of breed specific, pre-breeding tests your vet did, we can tell you if it is complete enough. For sure ED,HD and PRA can not be evaluated by a vet to comply with offa and or cerf requirements.
These tests must be evaluated by board certified specialists and once done, their results are posted to an independent health database.
I am assuming that you have not bred before; therefor at the minimum you would be looking for some-one who is experienced, to supervise or monitor the tie to insure nobody is injured in that process.
There is a whole lot that goes into responsible breeding practises, take your time; do your research, find a mentor who you can learn from.
As a comment many general vets (unless they are responsible breeders themselves), do not have the breed specific knowledge of what specialized tests are recommended by the appropriate National dog clubs. For the Yorkshire Terrier this is
