Too young. Walk away. It will save you and your family a lot of heartache. Also, I would suggest a bigger dog for your family. Please do not think of just your family, when considering a puppy. 8-9 hours alone everyday, especially, at that age is just not fair to a tiny yorkie puppy. That sounds like a pathetic existence to me. How lonely that puppy will be! I've seen many families like yours get yorkie puppies, then the kids get older, become involved in all sorts of activities. Before you know it, they realize they are never home and find it better for the puppy to rehome it. Please consider what you are doing, not only in the present. Consider how things will be in two years, five years, and even ten years down the road. Put the puppy first.
