i have an english bulldog who had an umbilical hernia. We got it fixed when we spayed her, and our vet recommended against breeding with any type of hernia. Like Lisa said, Yorkies may be different. My vet also checked my yorkie closely for a hernia when I bought her and took her for her first vet check? She was fine, though. Let us know what you find out!
