Has the vet checked her teeth? Maybe they need to be scaled (cleaned?) Yorkies are prone to stinky breath if their teeth aren't regularly cleaned & brushed.

Also, I purchased a great product from Wampum. I forget the name, but it's a breath spray. If you find a distributer of Wampum products, they'll have it.

If you google Wampum products you'll find a few places that sell the stuff. It works fabulously!!!

About the fur, can you post some pictures? A rescue yorkie may not be "pure" - even though it looks mostly like a yorkie. Yorkie's fur is like human hair. It's single coated. A good shampoo and rinse should take care of odor. The fur should look like yorkie fur - whether cut short or long.

Make sure the vet takes a good look at her!

Best of luck. Thanks for adopting a furbaby!
