Hi Sharon J- Congrats on your new pup! I bet she is beautiful. First of all, I agree with the BCnut on getting a crate. It will help out so much with house training her. Most dogs will not go potty in them. I have bought all of mine off of Craig’s list at about a third of the price of a new one. All have been in good shape too.
It’s not unusal for a puppy to have to go potty a lot at first. Also, not totally unusual for them to eat stools when they are pups. Yuck! But, I would take in a stool sample to your vet to rule out any type of worms or parasites because they can also cause pups to have loose stools and eat them.
Also feeding three regular meals and taking away water in the evening may also help with the excessive pooping and peeing.
Have fun with your new bundle of joy!
