I don't know at this time. The breeder has been at a show out of state for the last few days. Hopefully I will hear something from him soon. I just hope it's good news, but I am prepared for anything at this point.

I ended up making a crate cover while I was waiting. For some reason I didn't find anything I liked online or wanted to pay for, so I decided to make one. When all was said and done, it ended up costing more to make it. Inside there is a bed and a blanket the breeder gave me. Queen Lexi (one of my cats) kept wanting to lay on top of the crate so I gave in and put her bed up there. Now the crate is in my bedroom, with the crate cover and cat bed.
The cats did not get a bath before I brought the puppy home. The white one would have killed me, and the brown one would be an accomplice. They're both domestic shorthairs so baths aren't really necessary.

So Celtic has developed an interesting behavior. Housetraining is going well but he is still not sure how to tell me. So he has decided that when in doubr he should crawl under the futon and try to pee. The first time caught me off guard, the second time I stopped as soon as he started , the third time I acted first. Never had a puppy do that before.
Those are the only accidents we had and it is just to bizarre.
I generally don't allow Callan loose in the house unless he has just done his business. Pee is easy because he will go every time he is outside. Poo more difficult because his poo schedule us changing as he matures.
If he doesn't do his business when I bring him out, then he goes to the xpen. I try again when he starts to fuss around.
After that, then yes he is gets free play.

Right when I get home he goes pee and poop immediately then he is out and I watch him all night unless I need to do something. I take him out 4-5 times during the evening. He plays hard, drinks and plays. We make it an hour between trips.
The 1 time under the futon and the second time were he started and I caught him are the only 2 times he has tried to go in my house. He has never pooped in the house and he goes the second he feet hit the grass.
