So happy that little Charlotte Rose is now at your house. when I got Desi from the breeder at 8 weeks, he had never been outside in his whole life. he actually got sick in the car on the way home. if your breeder said that Charlotte Rose had mever been outside, then she obviously was puppy pad trained. I think putting her little coat on and taking her outside even if it is to just hold her, will acclimate her to be outside. so maybe if you do the puppy pads outside and gradually move it to where it is not out there anymore, so it may be fairly easy to train her to go outside without the puppy pads.
