When did Yorkies make the jump from rat killing terriers to a toy breed lap dogs?

I’m pretty sure they are smaller than they used to be.

According to this website, the 1930s:

ADD: Although, if you want to wade through this history from the Yorkie Club of America, they will tell you that some type of Toy Terrier was always involved in the bloodline, and the dogs were always rather small (under 10 lbs).
