I would suggest a small brush with soft bristles (I use a cat brush) to start conditioning your new pup and get them use to being touched with grooming supplies. The smaller cat brush is less scary for them and at the same time less harsh than some of the others. Once your new pup is use to being touched and can just lay in your lap while you are grooming him that is a good time to move onto one of the better grooming brushes of your choice. Just be sure to never ever use a slicker brush on your pup. Those are too prickly and hurt since Yorkies are a single coat dog with thin hair.
Feel free to look over my page on grooming at Dawn's Yorkies/grooming tips.
