Prggy, I also have a border collie and a lab mix, one female, one male. Mocha is also female. The two big dogs are very good about letting us know when they need to go out at night. We make Mocha go out at this time also. The two big dogs will usually need to go out once during the night. We crate them during the day because the youngest, the lab mix, still likes to chew. We don't use pads in the crates they just hold it.
