Maggy May is 6 months old, she came to us at 6 weeks old and I've used puppy pads with her since we've had her. When the weather warmed up enough for her to go outside, she staarted going potty outside as well, no problem at all what so ever. On days it's to cold to take her out or it's raining really bad, she used the puppy pad in the house, it's the best of both worlds
Personally I don't use newspaper cause once wet, the ink would be all over Maggys feet and my floor, to me, the puppy pads are much cleaner and doesn't soak the floor or leave ink on Maggy.
