Thank you for all the helpful information. We are starting to implement his crate as a house training aid while he sleeps with me at night I sleep lightly so when he wakes up I just get up and take him out
But during the day I plan on using his crate during the day if he refuses to potty outside try putting him in there for 10 mins then try again as suggested.
I hope he gets the longer coat I love putting his hair in little pony tails and grooming him bath blow dry etc His brother had hair like a cairn terrier and looked as if his coat would be short/medium length. ( I found him on hoobly.com ) Agian thank you for the advice
