Now it is up to you guys to teach her propper social skills without being or using negative punishment. When she nips or bites too hard during play , make a high pitch yelp sound, then stop playing. Do not allow your pup to play with your fingers or hands. Offer her toys or treats instead. When you allow her to chew on your fingers she thinks it is ok and is going to be confused when you play with her , especially when she is very excited and nippy, which all puppies sometimes will do that.
I would use potty pads for training right now too. I found it very helpful and a lot easier to do when my pups have been very young . I have not ever had to crate train them. I brought home my Shih Tzu at 7 weeks old . I ended up sleeping on the couch for nearly 2months though .Just so she could be right next to me , which my little puppy found great comfort in. There was no crying or ever any whineing. My Yorkie was brought home going on 9 weeks old .She did not sleep on the bed or crate , however, I had her right next to me , in the same room , I gave her something with my scent on it , and knowing that i was right there with her , she was just fine. Suzi knew where her food was , water , and the pee pads. Again no crying puppy either.
Puppies want more then anything to be in close contact with their human /s they thrive on it, and need that.
No puppy has a devil look in it's eyes. I could never imangine that .A pup is very innocent, and needs love and affection .Your puppy is not delibertly tying to make your life miserable.
If your not able to cope with having a puppy right now then the best thing to do is give her back to the breeder. Because, your going to go through potty training which is a huge chalenge for a yorkie, the teething stage, the teenage stage , and then sexual maturity sets in. If your not able to spen loads of time and be fully commited and patient to your little puppy , then now is the time to seriously think about sending her back to the breeder.

that would be a very BAD idea, but thanks for trying

read up a little further, i've had a change of attitude you may not have seen.
