Do yorkies do anything like hunt?

Well, Yorkshire Terriers are ratting dogs so if they see a mouse or rat or something like that they will go for it, if they do get it they will grab it in their mouth and shake it, like they do as if it were a toy, causing the poor mouse or rat to die... Other than that, Yorkshire Terriers are great pets to have! Just, not so good if you actually have a pet mouse or rat though...

Is the Rat Terrier a good breed for inexperienced dog owners to own?

On the one hand Staffies are very good dogs with people, and especially children, and on the whole they are not aggressive towards people, which would make them good for inexperienced dog owners. But they can be stubborn and they do need discipline from the beginning and a lot of attention and training, so in that regards they may not be the best dog for inexperienced dog owners. Except if the owners take them to training from puppyhood.
