I homecook, and have for about 3 years. I use Dr. Pitcairn's book, along with some modifications that I've made to tailor it for my dogs' needs, as well as modifications made by our vet, who is experienced in animal nutrition.

You should look around & do your own research about different approaches to yorkie diets, and find the ones that seem like they would fit within your lifestyle, budget, and will satisfy your dog's needs. Once you find a couple of things that you think might work for you, you should consult with a vet, and/or a nutritionist to determine the best possible diet for you and your pet, and go from there.
