If you go to bed at 10 or so, you should take the water away at about 8:30 giving them time to relieve themselves before bedtime, and they should sleep good through the night without having to go again, for best results for awhile have the puppy in whats called 'crate training' this will allow the puppy to understand to hold it until you are up to take him out again. Its worked great for me, but every puppy is different! Congrats on the dog and best of luck!
Thanks for the feeding info. That schedule sounds like it will work perfect for us. We plan on taking Rocky to the vet the next day or so after we bring him home just to get him checked over so I'm sure the vet will have lots of good advice for us too.
