Animal Smiley 036 getting as yorkie for the first time

Hello, I am new to this site... and new to yorkies. I have some questions...

What do you feed them? I feed my cats and ferrets Evo because I know that's a high quality food, would it be okay to feed that to a yorkie?

What kinds of toys do they like to play with? We really want to spoil our yorkie :P

Are they cuddly? My mom really wants a dog that will cuddle with her.

Do they enjoy swimming? My mom's friend has a yorkie that likes to swim, but I'm not sure if this is common with yorkies.

How often do they need to be walked? And should I use a leash or a harness?

Is it okay to leave them outside in the yard? (on a leash or fenced-in)

Are they difficult to train?



That's all the questions I can think of right now. Sorry if some of them are dumb.... I haven't owned a dog since I was 4, so I figured I'd better try to learn all I can. If there's anything else you would like to add, it would be greatly appreciated.

**edit**
Forgot to ask how they are with other animals, particularly cats and ferrets.
