I was a groomer and boarded for many years..so you know I have seen just about everything to do with a Yorkie..
I would do as suggested..feed alone and often..no competition helps.

I would talk with the breeder..who may or may not agree, BUT IMO the breeder needs to correct a serious problem in her kennel. If this dog is to become a part of your breeding program I would follow though with breeding plan if you observe no other examples of maladjustment..BUT if I saw one ounce of aggression in pups, I would neuter...this could be a two fold problem he has..but far too early to know for sure...just be aware.
