I have had yorkies for 25 years. The well bred ones have soft silky coats.
Some of them have bushy coats and that sounds like what your dog has.

First of all, I would use a Psi pin brush with a face comb that is 4" in length, chrome with half fine prongs and the other half regularly spaced prongs. You can usually get all these items at a dog show or on line. I would try ©The Groomer's Mall-Professional Pet Grooming Supplies and Products for Dog, Horse and Cat Grooming

Secondly, I would try using Vet Solutions Shampoo with Tropiclean conditioner. Both are wonderful. If he has a dry itchy flaky skin problem try using Halo Shampoo and conditioner. Daily brushings and combings are essential to keep the knots at bay. Good luck and let me know how you are doing.
