Welcome to YT!
As mentioned above, it really is best if she stays with her mom until 12 weeks.
If she is tiny, you may end up with problems with hypoglycemia and with your job that could be a disaster. Make sure to get her to a vet within 24 hours of getting her. If a breeder is willing to let a pup go at 8 weeks I would be concerned about other issues. Don't mean to scare you but I have seen so many problems in puppies. If she is super tiny and not eating well, you really should not leave her.
That is a very long day for a puppy. I have one that was purchased by a person who worked and she was freaking out during the day, climbing on things and acting out. She was so unhappy. It took some time for her to come around...she would lose it when I left the house. I would suggest you have someone go there and play with her frequently...maybe when she is older, day care would be good for her. They are social beings and I really think leaving a puppy alone that long could traumatize her. |
