Here is a link to help you out http://www.onofrio.com/plist/atla2pl.pdf - know rules and information, etc... I know the dogs cannot go into the restroom with you.
About your dog - see page 13 - 14 for rules. They perfer dogs no younger than 6 months there. It is really important to keep noise to a minium at ringside - if babies cry a lot or loud or dogs bark near ring, it tends to upset the dogs in the ring while showing. But I know you will make sure that doesn't happen. They suggest to bring your own chair. I think you will have a lot of fun and see some really nice yorkies!!!

I am not saying you would, but this just brought a memory to me from a past show - Once there was a person that brought their dog in a stroller and was not actually showing - she blocked the entrance to getting in and out of the ring - what a hazzle to squeeze by just to get in the ring. Thank you again for asking and thinking about all this. Some people have no clue.

Ring time tomorrow is 10 AM ring 7 and Sunday is 10:55 at ring 7. I highly recommend getting a catalog at the door to make notes. They usually run 10.00 and parking is usually 5.00 for weekend.

Dress as you please - usual casual for just watching.
