magic is 100% housebroke and only goes outside. he is a very good boy although he gave me a run for my money in the beginning. took me 2 months of watching him just about every second and taking him out even in the middle of the nite a few times each nite. i crate trained and he would cry in the middle of the nite if he had to go. also very good where ever we go. we travel a little and he has never gone in a motel room or any house we ever rented on vacation or any friends or relatives. my husband and i both work (did not work when i got him) and we never worry that he will do something when we leave. he is just to good of a boy. He has had run of the house since he was 6 months old. all the training and watching for the first few months really pays off in the end because you will have a good dog for life.
