Sorry, but my advice would be to stick to your original plan to keep him as a pet. Too many pet owners are tempted to stud their puppy because how perfect they are. But most pet owners are not experienced in breeding.
With all due respect, "too gorgeous not to have puppies" is not really a good reason to breed him. Is your intention to sell puppies? Or keep them all to yourself? Please think about this thoroughly because there are too many abandoned Yorkies, especially in Florida due to the number of backyard breeders who want to breed, just because. If you're not a show dog breeder who intends to compete in the show ring, you would be considered a backyard breeder.
Last, my two Yorkies are amazingly gorgeous too. They came from many many generations of grand champion bloodlines. I know exactly how you feel about neutering them...seeming like a 'waste'. But, at the end of the day, I very much respect the profession of reputable breeders and I'll leave the breeding to them (not that for one second did I want to breed mine). To me, my babies are pets because I am a pet owner not a show dog breeder.
