When I got my 2 yorkies, my husband came with me. We actually were planning on getting 1 and came home with 2 because we just couldn't decide! I held them both in the bed/blanket that I had during the 40 minute ride home while my husband drove and everything went great. Most info I read said that day#1 is the one day to "break" the "safe" travel rule so you can have some instant bonding time with your puppy. It's scary for them to be taken away from what they have known, and if you can help provide them comfort by holding them, please do so!! I always have them in a crate when we travel (except the day we took them home) & they love to go for car rides!! If you are going alone, however, you should use a crate for safety - I would suggest that you bring someone with you if at all possible so you can hold your new puppy on your ride home. Congrats on your new little one!!
