We'll hopefully be bringing home our standard poodle puppy in mid-November! We'll be driving down from Northeast Ohio to Northern Virginia, so we're really eager to get tips from people who've done 6-7 hour drives with puppies before. Our biggest worry is getting him or her to potty safely along the way - we were thinking of bringing an exercise pen and lining it completely with puppy pads so the puppy never touches rest-stop soil.
Another friend of mine suggested picking up the puppy closer to ten weeks than eight as they'll have more bladder capacity by this age. They brought their spoo home at nine and a half weeks, and only stopped every two hours for potty breaks. Any thoughts on this? I keep seeing that eight weeks is considered optimal for pick-up.
