Yorkies need to be walked. They are terriers. They are quite active and don't do well without lots of attention. Honestly, it doesn't sound like you have enough time to spend training, playing with, and giving the deserved attention to a yorkie. We walk a minimum of two miles daily. That's a minimum. Usually, it is more and sometimes twice that. We, also, have play time everyday. Yorkies require grooming appointments and most require weekly bathing and daily brushing and combing. The brushing and combing is a must unless you keep them in a very short cut. They also require a higher quality of food than grocery store brands. They can be prone to pancreatitis as well. Some have allergy issues. Others have problems with hypoglycemia as puppies. My yorkie spends the day with me. She, like most yorkies, does not like being left alone. They are people dogs and like to be around people. I don't know how big a cockapoo gets, but you would need to be very careful that a big dog playing doesn't cause injury - accidental or otherwise - to a small yorkie.
