Her training is coming along nicely.
House training?	Working on it and doing great for a puppy his/her age Partially housebroken, but doesn’t know how to tell you when needs to go outside Can hold it overnight Using an xpen to contain overnight and when left alone. Can hold it for about 6 hours max currently at night and a few hours through the day without an accident. New family will need to continue training to get him to be reliable/solidly house trained. Doing great for a pup this age!

Any additional comments regarding temperament that haven’t been covered by the questions above?	This litter of pups is lovely. They are very even-keeled, have beautiful temperaments, and are extremely intelligent and trainable. They don’t miss a beat and are very attentive and pay attention to all the small details. Not much gets past this crew, they are a busy bunch! They would be a wonderful addition to a new family. They have been well socialized with other foster dogs, have been bathed and dried several times and had their nails done. They have been well socialized with people and new experiences and take everything in stride.
Profile Information	Olive is the adventurer in her group. She is the boldest and brave and won’t be pushed around by the boys. While her build is lightly more petite she keeps up with her rough and tumble brothers and often puts them in their place (Albert and Elliot). She loves her humans, is very friendly, and sharp as a whip when working on training. She is highly intelligent and needs to have her brain worked along with her body. She still gets up to regular puppy antics. She does well playing with other dogs and can rough and tumble with the best of them. She would love a playmate in her forever home to keep her company.
