Hi and welcome to YT,you have come to a great site.I love this place and i have learned so much here.I have a little yorkie girl,she is almost 6 month's old.Her name is mystie joy .You are smart to do all this resurge before you get your puppy.I did the same,so i had a little understanding about yorkies when i got mine.I was very confused also about where to find a trust worthy breeder and i couldn't afford what most of them aked.So i desided to check with my vet (i lost my little dachshund back in april to kidney failure ,after 13 years.)They gave me the name of a lady they knew that raised them and who brought her puppy's to the same vet .So, they had seen my little mystie joy before i did,and they gave me all the info i needet to make up my mind .I am so glad i did get my little dog this way.I got to know the parents of my puppy and saw pictures of the grandparents as well.She comes from a very good bloodline and she is the sweetest little dog.As far as brushing her,i do so without wetting her coat and it works well for me.But i would recomend that you get a little brush with metal prongs.I tried it with another brush before and endet up with lots of tangles.Well,this is all the advice i have to give so fare since i am a fairely new yorkie mom too.As far as training her ,i took her outside a lot and still do.About every 2-3 hours,exept at night time.At night she holds it untill i take her out in the morning.I bought a little metal doggie playpin that i set up in my kitchen when i have to leave while i am at work.She doesn't pepee or popoo in there.That playpen is so handy.I have a second one that i have set up in my bedroom.I made it her little bed with sheets and blankets as well as a pillow.She loves it and goes to it when i ask her at bed time if she is ready to go "night night"Well, i hope you can use my little advice.God bless you.
