Don't even consider it. As dogs get a little older then leaving them for a while each day is fine, but not all day under any circumstances, unless you can arrange for someone to call in and walk them, talk to them, play with them, etc.
Dogs need company.
I suggest you buy some fish!

All the above answers are totally valid, the damage they do when they're bored etc, but those first few weeks are the ones were the bonding and training that will make all the difference to your dogs behaviour in later life take place.You also miss all the silly little things that puppies do that make up a large part of the pleasure of having a good dog
yes iis very cruel, we have a puppy she's 14 weeks old, although we do leave her for at most a couple of hours, just to get her used to not being with us all the time, leaving a puppy for hours and hours is not good at all, they need interaction with you, they are learning, and need you to teach them and give reassurance!......a puppy left for long periods will never do well, and won't be the companion you wish for!......you need to put in your time in the early years!........and ever after too!.......
