Are you getting it from a breeder? Our breeder will board their puppies/dogs

How long can we not travel once a puppy comes home then? Just curious. First time dog owners.

Not possible.

This could work out really well for you if your breeder offers training programs. You leave him/her there until you get back and they can train it for you. but please dont bring home a puppy and then leave.

Can you delay pick up until after your trip? Or will the breeder or rescue you’re getting it from take it back to care for during your trip? Puppies are too young to leave unless someone is going to stay in your home almost 24/7 while you’re gone.

What if a dog sitter came?

You'd need one there 24/7 not just to check up on the puppy. Its also very likely that the puppy will revert with regard to potty/training once you are back. This is a very important time to be bonding with your new puppy. Probably not what you wanted to hear but its the truth.

We all have to go. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. What if someone came to the house to watch it?

This is a bad start for your puppy! Who is not an IT by the way!!! Can't you get the dog after the trip?

First weekend in March but have a trip April 9 that can't be changed. Is this impossible or doable?

Will you or won't you? Get puppy after trip.

I don't think so but can check. Very unlikely!
