The dog being alone for 8 hours of the day is perfectly fine. A lot of people work 9-5 jobs and do as such, most of the time leave them in a crate or enclosed area in the house while your gone. Unless of course you trust your dog to have the whole house to himself.
Also, you don't really need to walk your dog twice a day. Once is more then enough, unless he's got to go pee or poo and you have no choice!
Once they are adults and your not overfeeding them, they sh!t one time a day. My dog usually shits once a day, or he'll split it up into 3 times during his walk, thus I carry at least 3 doggie bags with me. He'll squat just for the hell of it, I think for a "Good Boy"! Dogs are weird sometimes.

Wow Mike, yes, that's a great amount.
Later when the dog gets older you can leave them for longer periods.
You never ideally want to, but many people train their dogs that way or cage train them, etc.
