Yikes! Yorkies are way too small & have too tiny of a bladder to be crated 9 hours a day.
I got my pup very young, at 6 weeks of age, but took two weeks off work to be with her around the clock. She had to be fed every 4 hours (just like a human baby) for the first few weeks.
If you don't have the time to devote to such a young pup, I'd suggest getting a lil older yorkie pup, and would recommend a play pen set up, with bed, food & water, & pee pads all in a pen, instead of crating, if you are going to be gone for long periods of time. That way the pup has a lil den of their own & can eat, drink & go potty as needed.
