I brought home a puppy 3 weeks ago, knowing what a commitment they are, but I wasn't prepared for even how MUCH attention my puppy demands. Barkley won't even let me go into the bathroom by myself. If I'm out of his sight at all, he starts crying, howling, and looking for me. I'm trying to crate train him and at only a minute and a half before he gets hysterical. I would never be able to leave him for as long as you plan to. It would be cruel to him, possibly dangerous, and I would worry the entire time. They also need to be played with and walked a lot. Just because they're small, doesn't mean they can have less exercise than other dogs. You say you cannot NOT work out. Look at it from the puppy's side: If you were not able to work out and had to be locked in a tiny room every day for that length of time, how would you like it? If you choose to not listen to what everyone is saying, and get a yorkie anyway, you will find out very quickly that it is a bad idea, for the puppy AND you.
