Hello all! I'm the brand new momma of a very sweet little lady yorkie, Lou. So far, she's doing great with potty training! I'm a teacher and still off for the summer, so I watch her like a hawk 24-7, and so far we haven't had any accidents.

BUT I'm a little concerned that she doesn't seem to pee often enough. I've read that a 3month old yorkie can hold it up to 3 hours, but Lou waits 4-5 hours between pee breaks, which seems like a really long time for such a tiny pup. Along those lines, Lou can sleep through the entire night without needing to potty. She sleeps in a crate by my bed, so I know she's not sneaking off anywhere and I've triple-checked her bedding for wetness.

Did I just get lucky with a strong-bladdered dog? Or is this something I should be concerned about?
