Your new little one is Precious! I ended up bringing Hope home at 9 weeks cause the breeder was heading out of town for a family wedding. I also didn't know they shouldn't leave Mom that early, but we got her to the vet the next day and he said she was a healthy little girl. I tried not to leave her but we had an unexpected funeral come up and did have to leave her alone. Ended up being 5 hrs. and I was sooooo nervous. She has the Iris xpen with a mesh roof, her bed, food, water and pee pads plus lots of toys. I don't use collars since I've heard they are too dangerous. Anyway, she ended up doing really well. Personally if she hasn't shown signs of hypoglycemia yet and she's been eating well I think a few hours for church would be ok, but I'm far from an expert cause this is my first puppy too. I understand the pros and cons from both sides so I think only you can make this decision. Good luck with you new little one and welcome to YT. The people here have been very helpful and I've learned so much from them all. |
