Ok, so this Doxie-mix pup has been in my house for a week and a half.
She has had no mistakes inside (but that is with my obsessive watching and crating technique).
Today, she went at 5:30am (1 & 2). So, I come back from work (lunch time) and walk her all over the yard. Nothing.
Then, my girlfriend takes her out at 2:30pm. Nothing.
Then, after running her around... giving her some food.... and waiting... she finally goes at 3:30pm. That is 10 hours from her last relief! At that point, she did #1 & 2 again.
Notice that this isn't 10 hours in a crate... this is 10 hours which included a number of outside visits. On the final, successful trip outside, the dog did go to the front door.
From my experience, even when my previous dogs didn't really have to "go", the dog would at least find a way to piddle a little bit when it was outside.
I have heard that Dachshunds have notorious house training problems. This one is a mix, but the mix is with a Basset... not exactly a stellar house training dog either.
Anyway, is this common? Do some pups just have incredible bladders/bowels?
