I live on a lake in the Midwest and there are lots of wildlife around all my dogs have always spent time out side, lots of walks, swim and so forth, we even have a family of raccoons living in one of our oak trees. So I get that vaccine. it's a two part vac and I have it done with nothing else early in the day so if there is a reaction the vet will still be open. the only dog that had a reaction so far was Lola it was with the first part and very mild, she just sleepy and tender in the location where she had her shot, she was fine the next day and fine with the second part. to me it is all about the location/environment and life style you will be having with your dog.

Yorkies are like little vacuums so they could probably pick it up from puddles pretty easily, to me the worry is not worth it.
