You don't need a dog at all if you aren't going to be home. A dog is not a robot you can turn on and off when you decide you have 5 minutes for it. Get a pet rock.

A yorkie would proably be better off with a yard (a place to dig holes). You weren't planning on leaving the pooch alone inside all day, were you? Not a good plan.

Then why get a dog? Thats just outright cruel. Why not get a cat. They love being left alone. Maybe a Gerbil. Dont get a dog man, They need love and affection all the time. Not just when you want it.

Answer 9

They're a bit high strung, not good for hanging out by themselves a lot. In fact most dogs should not be left alone all day, they get bored and depressed. Maybe a cat would be better.
