Everyone seems to have answered your questions fairly well. You did ask about training it to go outside. Will you be home with your puppy during the day? If not, then your puppy will need to be in an x-pen with piddle pads. I dual-train mine to use pads in the garage when there are thunderstorms or blizzards. She prefers to go outside the rest of the time. Also, your puppy should not go outside until the pup has all required shots.
