I use royal canin and bil-jac puppy food mixed! (KIM'S POST)

I also use BilJan and RC mixed. You can use the dry kibble..either grind it in a food processor and store it in a container or put it in a heavy plastic bag and beat it into small peices. You can use water in the kibble he will eat right away and some dry in another plate or bowl for him to snack on. At 7-12 weeks, my puppies are still getting 4 meals a day...He needs to be watched and taken to his wee pad as soon as he starts to circle in his poop mode. That probably will happen within a half hour after eating.
A 7 week-old puppy is not gonna house-train yet. Yorkies can be very hard to train but with the 3 P's--patience, perseverance ad PRAISE- you can do it. Is someone checking on his during the day? A young puppy should not be left alone more than an hour or two. They need to be with their humans if they have been taken from their mom and siblings.
Good Luck with your baby and training him to be a great family pet..
