ahhh you're not a bad yorkie mom. It can happen, don't worry. The important thing now is that you try to keep with unmatted the most you can. Follow the advise of our yorkietalkers and you'll be fine. I know that some people don't like the slicker brush, but I use the when a find a tight matt or knot close to the body, it really helps clear those matts without hurting if you know how to use it. People that want to grow their yorkies' hair in a long coat don't recommend it because it breaks the hair, but if you plan to have him on a puppy coat, it works great.
Like they said before, put a shirt on him while the hair is short so he's not cold and he can look cute and not too skinny
