Welcome. I'm finding Yorkies to be very selective about their food choice. I've gone through 3 kibbles and this latest one he seems to like. But, sometimes, I have to start him off but taking a few in my hand. He loves that! After a couple of kibbles downed from my hand, I walk away and he generally digs in. We pull it up at night so eventually if he's hungry he'll eat.
Make sure whatever you choose for food, it starts with a meat product as the 1st two ingredients. I find grains made Bailey itch. With his new food he really no longer scratches.
Finally as for the chewing, welcome to a puppy's life. I'd look in to a nylabone that they can chew down. Bailey loves the chicken flavor ones. He also loves to chew on my fingers! So, I grab that bone, tease and play with him while holding it, and then toss it. He will sit and chew on that things for 15 to 20 minutes.
good luck and enjoy!
