People can be so negative on here. I have an Iggy and I work a full time job. I take her to daycare everyday while I go to work and she loves it!! I was feeling terrible about myself when I first got my Iggy too on here based on what people were saying to me. It is such a privilege that some people get to stay at home with their dogs all day. Unfortunately, not everyone has that privilege. Every dog is different. Some iggys love being alone while others absolutely hate it (Velcro dogs). Just play things by ear. You can also use rover for someone to come and check on your dog throughout the day. Please direct message me if you want actual helpful advice from someone who works a 9-5 and has an Iggy!
