I want to make this clear; as other people read this. I am only going by what I have read and by my own experience:
In the tiny yorkies (since their testicles are also super tiny) it seems to take longer to detect the testicles and know if they are properly positioned in the scrotum. My little male was 6-7 months when we found the testicle wasn't properly positioned in the scrotum. My veterinarian tried unsuccessfully to position the testicle (manually). At that time we were 99% sure he was cryptorchid.
With what I have read a litter may be registered to a male 7 months of age thru A.K.C. So I would assume that any time around that age the testicles need to be in position. The male should be starting to be interested in a female (in heat). I used proven females to make to prove that the male was sterile. Also my vet was unable to collect a semen sample or an erection from my yorkie male. Sorry to be so graphic but I'm giving you information from my vet documents.
I hope this helps.
