I think the majority of dog owners in this country work. I've always worked full time until I retired and always had dogs, sometimes even several rescues. You can work it out and the dogs quickly learn if trained properly to sleep during the time you are away at work and now with webcams, you can check on them during the day. You and the dog have the first thing in the morning, the whole evening and night to spend together. It's only during puppyhood you need to have someone who can come in if possible and take it out and play with it, check on it. That's why it's important not to get a very young 8 - 10 week old puppy but one old enough and big enough to be safe alone for several hours during the day and not go into a coma from hypoglycemia, etc. Best of luck finding your Yorkie baby!
