welcome to YT, Yorkies were originally breed to flush out vermin, so yes, they are lil hunters, if it's there, they will find it, mouse, mole, rabbit, chipmunks, etc. IMHO I would never let one of my yorkies off their leash. You have to think about cars, loose dogs, if they see a cat or squirrel!!!!! they are off and running, but, that's not to say they are un-trainable, I just wouldn't do it, call me over protective, just my opinion. I have retractable leash for walks. Do you have any dog parks in or around your area, that would be a good starting point and gives your baby freedom to run and play with other dogs. Good luck, you selected an awesome breed.
