Yorkies learn a lot from the there mom between 8 and 12 weeks. Socializing and biting are the big things they learn. Also at 8 weeks if the puppy is not with there mom then you will need to stay with them pretty much all the time until they get a bit older because at 8 weeks they have a higher chance of getting hypoglycemia and if that happens when your not there it could result in death. If the breeder doesn't not want to keep the pup until 12 weeks you might want to just look for a different breeder. She sounded like she didn't want to keep them until 12 weeks because she doesn't want to deal with them.
