I think that puppies (ANY puppies) take a while to house train - regardless of the breed. Many things you do sound exactly how it is here with Bronx. I have the living room baby gated off at the kitchen so he has free run of the entire living room. He uses the puppy pads really well most of the time, but still occasionally has accidents. As for the crate training, I put Bronx in his for about an hour or so each morning because my husband works nights and is sleeping so I don't want to wake him, but at night Bronx sleeps in his dog pen with his bed and puppy pad. If you wanted to try crating her more and she cries, you could try putting a blanket over the crate. I do that with Bronx and it seems to work great. Best of luck - I think you're doing just fine!
