Anesthesia is my least favorite thing, but I think I would be inclined to take care of the dew claws now. Then closer to one year of age, assess teeth and neuter then.
There are many Yorkies who have annual dental cleanings under anesthesia and who do just fine, live to very old age.

This is what I would do. While others may have had good experiences neutering early, doesn't change my desire to allow a pup to develop before taking away his hormones. Pre-op blood work can tell you what's going on in your little man's body and if he's healthy enough to go under. You can still back out if his blood work doesn't look good.
