i wouldn't approach the owner at all over a six inch high yorkie - i'd drive it twenty yards back down the road with my boot if it came out after me.
Our estate is like an open dog pound. There must be at least ten dogs that roam freely day and night. One of them is constantly running in front of cars. Can the council dog wardens do something about it?
Regardless of whether yorkies are dangerous or not, some people are absolutely terrified of dogs and should not have to put up with this lack of consideration from some eejit of an owner.
I was walking my dog beside a river last summer when a small dog (some sort of terrier) ran over and attacked my dog. I kicked it and it fell down the bank and into the river. Its owner was not happy but I told them that they should keep their dog on a leash in public.
My cat, however, is another matter, as she's just plain evil!

Some dog owners can be unbelievably selfish. A couple a few doors down from me used to leave their dog out in the garden all night. The dog used to bark loudly at regular intervals, waking me up several times a night. After ages and ages of this, I eventually rang the house and asked if they could possibly bring the dog inside at night. The owner said he was too big and I (politely) said that this didn't really excuse leaving him outside barking all night. They did get rid of the dog in fairness, but apparently complained to a neighbour that someone had the nerve to ring them at 7.30 in the morning (I knew they'd be up as their car always left for work before 8) complaing about the dog. The fact that he was waking me up at 2am, 4am, 5 am didn't seem to matter!!
Not all of .I always thought [broken link removed] were harmless enough !
BubblyScot - you have my sympathy and empathy!!! I hate situations like that. Can you talk to the neighbours about HOW to train the dogs? Maybe suggest local training courses?
