He is young to be away from his mom, BUT 3lbs at 9 weeks is big for a yorkie compared to the ones that leave home weighing 1lb-2lbs at 12 weeks. So he sounds like he'll be nice and tough! Just like a boy should be haha... jk my tikka was 7lbs when I got her at 8mnths.
I agree I've owned puppies before, and just let him eat as he needs, keep an eye on his weight though, and maybe soak his food a little bit so its softer. At nine weeks old he is very young and probably still a li'l sensitive in the teeth.
