Here's a pretty entertaining magazine article on Yorkie history that I stumbled while surfing the net. Probably nothing a hard-core Yorkie owner hasn't read long ago, but newbies like me might find it interesting. Here's the URL followed by a couple paragraphs:

The Yorkshire Terrier
From Coal Mines to Cloud Nine
By Rick Beauchamp
In September 1993 a belligerent wind snatched the roofs off four houses in Saginaw, Texas, and airlifted a 4-pound Yorkshire terrier clear out of her yard. "We knew she had been carried away," said Jim Davis, the dog's owner, "because a neighbor saw her flying about 15 or 20 feet in the air."
The following day Davis got a call from a man who had found the flying dog, Sadie, running along a highway two miles north of Saginaw. The caller phoned Davis after reading a newspaper story about Sadie. But for a few ant bites, the dog appeared to be unfazed by her flight.
