Question About How Much?

Hey guys! Question for ya. I meant to ask my vet at our appointment Friday and I forgot. We have an appointment for her rabies shot in 2 weeks, and I will ask then, but until then....about how much food should Katie Scarlett be eating each day? She is a little over 14 weeks, almost 15 weeks. She weighs 2.8 pounds. We are keeping her on the food the breeder had her on, which is the Royal Canin 28 Yorkshire Terrier Puppy formula. She gobbles it right up, so I think she enjoys her food. About how much should she be eating right now? I am just free feeding right now. We will start a schedule on down the road, but right now I just want to make sure she gets enough to eat. She didn't seem to eat much her first few days with us, but now she does pretty good. I'd say she has anywhere from 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of the dry kibble each day. Is that too much, too little? We also have a little spoon full of plain yogurt each day, another thing my breeder said I needed to do. She loves that. No treats as of right now. I tried giving her treats that I had and she won't eat them. I don't think she likes them. I'm going to try something else, maybe Cheerios or the Sweet Potato Puffs for babies this week. Maybe some fresh carrots too to see if she will like those. We give her the purified Nursery water, as much as she'd like. Am I doing ok or do I need to make changes? She is a very happy puppy, always active and ready to play. She hasn't whined at night when it's bed time at all, not even the first night. We are still shocked that she hasn't cried at night. She has barked a few times, but it's during the day when we are at play. I let her bark once or twice, but then am working on teaching her 'enough.'

Thanks for any help/advice!
