3.5 hours isn't that bad..that's how far I am from my parents house and my dogs do just fine the whole way. To be honest, they sleep probably 90% of the drive. I put each of my two in their own crates, put them in the back seat and take off.
Since you're just getting her though, it's probably almost a given that she's going to be scared and whine alot it left alone. So I say it's up to you if you'd rather hold her the whole drive or start now getting her used to her crate. It might also be a good idea to stop about 1/2 way to let her have a potty break. |
