I agree with both these ladies and Ringo1.
No one is being mean here, We are just giving you our honest opinions..That baby is only 9 weeks old, shouldn't even be away from its mommy & littermates yet...let alone left for 12 plus hours a day ALONE...You will never be able to potty train him in just 4 hours a day...that training alone is a 24/7 hour job...would you leave a skin child of 9 weeks home alone for 12 hours? no you wouldn't!! so please reconsider about taking him back to the breeder.
Yorkie are very social dogs and need the attention of there humans more than 4 hours a day in order to thrive and be happy...with you gone 12 hours a day, you are going to have a unhappy, unruly, misbehaving yorkie..you will be cleaning up after him on a daily bases...and like now you will get even more frustrated and tired...Yorkies need training, with no training they will get out of control quickly and become little yappers.
If you won't take him back...consider putting him in a doggie day care while you are at work...that way he gets the training he needs and the socializing and won't be alone for 12 hours.
