Sounds like you'll be a great Yorkie parent. I echo the advice given by the others. I don't think 8 or 10 hours is bad if you carve out a couple hours of quality time the rest of the day. A morning walk and evening walk would give the dog a routine to look forward to.

Daycare would be ideal, but a lunch break visit or visit from a neighbor would be a nice treat. Personally, I work 8 hours but generally keep alone time to 5 hours with a visit. When I have to go 8 or 10, they do fine.
