Well first of all, congrats on your decision to get a Yorkie!

Here is the link to a forum on YT, at the top there are "stickies" that have lots of great info on what to look for and stay away from in a breeder, questions, etc..
"Buy your breeder first" is great advice!! You do not want to end up with a puppy mill or BYB puppy. Please google, research, ask questions regarding any breeder you are visiting!!
I would also suggest checking ytca.org for reputable breeders in your area.
Is the breeder you are visiting letting the puppy go at 10 weeks? Most reputable breeders wait until at least 12 weeks.
You should absolutely take the puppy to a vet ASAP. I think when we brought Wrigley home, we took her the next day!
I think if you do a search on YT on crate training, you will find that people do all different things. Some use a crate, ex-pen, etc..
Our girls sleep in a crate at night, which they love!
The breeder you are going to visit. Do they have a contract, a health guarantee, are they AKC registered?
