Hi everyone!
I just received an adult Yorkie(about 3-4 years old). He came from a broken home with an owner who was a drug addict(female) and also had a mental disorder.
I took him in just a few days ago, not knowing any of his history. I'm actually not sure if he is a full breed Yorkshire-but the vet and many others seem to clasify him as one. He seems a bit tall compared to the Yorkies I have seen. I will post a picture of him when I first received him.

He is so sweet, very hyper/jumpy/jittery. He seems to bark at all men, he is not neutered, and he had fleas which we are currently treating.
I had to have his hair cut very short due to the matted hair and fleas. I am feeding him Eukanuba(which is what I was recommended but have read is not a good choice)
I want the best for him.
Do you have any tips for a new dog owner?
Does he look like a yorkie?
What are some good brands of food for him? Also, do I need yorkie specific food, or just small breed?
What shampoo/conditioner do you use for your dog?
Is he at an ok age for behavior classes?
Thank you!
