I am considering breeding my male yorkie with my cousins female. I am curious as to how this will effect my male yorkie, afterwards. I have heard that it can cause them to have complete personality changes, ect. Is this true? What can happen?

Yes, they can become more aggressive and territorial, they can increase marking behavior, and they will become more interested in roaming from home.
The other things you need to be concerned with is making sure both your dog and your cousin's dog is tested fro hips and patellas by OFA, CERF'd ,and are in close conformation iwth the breed standard.
I suggest contacting the Yorkie club of America and asking for a mentor. There are right ways to breed and wrong ones. I am sure you want to be a responsible, ethical breeder.

The main side effect of breeding a male yorkie is the production of innocent homeless puppies that will end up in shelters or euthanized.

The biggest side effect is more puppies in a world that doesn't need them. Leave breeding to the experts. Spay, neuter, and enjoy your pets.
Purebred does not mean 'should be bred.'

HUGE behavioral change. Can become aggressive. They only want a woman. Won't listen. Cancer. If female freaks out and pulls away, could hurt both. Many risks. Better to fix him and enjoy him

this can vary buy the dog doesn't matter with the breed.
some will stay prety much the same.
Others may become more aggressive, prone to wondering ( can smell a female in heat upto 5 miles away), mark territory both in and out of the house.

An intact male has the risk of getting testicular cancer. It's better and healthier to have him neutered.
