From the peanut gallery here:me.
My schnorkie (mini schnauzer/yorkie hybrid)
has definate green eye shine. He has more schnauzer traits than yorkie and genetically speaking from his DNA test result is more schnauzer than yorkie- his coat is the funkiest thing ever, each hair literally has three to four colors on it. He has the double schnauzer coat a down under coat and a wiry top coat...
but his "wiry" top coat is actually silky to the touch, cool and shines on the long hairs...very unnatural to the schnauzer coat it superficially appears like.
Now I know I just told you about a hybrid dog which confuses it all but from what I also read it's more like an indicative trait not a guaranteed rule...but eye shine is part of judging in dog shows...so I looked it up a bit last night and I found this link to be extremely helpful in facts and unbias, I'm not so sure about the overall site itself though.

Your Yorkie is so cute! That is such a great picture!
