As long as the temperature is normal inside and she has access to fresh water dogs can typically stay in a crate anywhere from 6 to 8 hours. Some dogs may be able to go longer, some dog shorter depending on their urinary bladder capacity. I usually don't recommend anything longer than eight hours in a crate at a time.
