I know alot who have yorkies and work full time. However, when I get a puppy I would take maybe a couple of weeks off, take vacation or something to let the puppy get accustomed to it's new living arrangement. I agree on the Xpen. I also would recommend getting a puppy around 4 to 5 months old since the puppy will be home alone for that length of time. I "strongly" recommend taking time off when you first get the puppy. I wouldn't place a puppy of mine into a home unless that was agreed upon first knowing it was going to be alone for that length of time.
