That might make a difference to the girls, as size; to some; "DOES"
matter,
but that's not a decision I would select a sire for my puppy by. I'd be
more interested in Cardiac OFA numbers, Hip OFA ratings, Patella OFA
ratings, Thyroid OFA certification, and many more certs as well as
temperament and some actual proof he's got some quality besides color and
size.

Not to mention, breeding harlequins is not to be done by the novice because
of Dane coat color genetics and the possibility of producing white puppies.
There is not a huge demand for puppies that are deaf, blind, or both, and
require other special treatment (for instance, they tend to sunburn easily).

To the OP: Neuter your pup and enjoy him as the great companion that I'm
sure he is. There is an overpopulation problem in the breed and more dogs
out there than are good homes for them. If you can't be a part of the
solution, at least don't be a part of the problem.
