Default Winston's not eating...need advice?

Winston is 8 months old and when I brought him home the breeder had him on purina puppy chow which I know is horrible so I slowly moved him over to Royal Canine puppy chow. He would gobble it down the second it hit the floor. He has since lost interest in it so I got him Nutra (wouldnt eat it) then I got Royal Canine for the picky palate (wouldn't eat it) and I have since gone to the holistic dog food store and gotten samples of all the different foods. Problem is he seems to turn his nose up at everything and he just doesn't eat. I made him a raw dog food the other night he gobbled it down but then when I gave it to him the next day he wanted none of it. I have no idea if this is something to do with his GI tract or if he thinks not eating will get me to give in and give him people food. He doesn't get it often and when he does its maybe a bite of chicken or other beef. I have mixed wet food into his dry food and he will eat it but if the leftovers have been in the fridge then he wants none of it, even warmed up. I am worried something is wrong with him but then again I think he might be playing me. Do any of your yorkies have this issue? Today I pretended to feed his food to the cat and then he wanted it all! If I pretend I'm eating it he is all about it... I'm worried he will starve himself to death. He is 7lbs so maybe his stomach is just so tiny a little bit fills him up? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!
