I can't believe I'm posting a question about Wee Wee Pads, or wee wee
anything for that matter.

Anyway - I am getting a Papillon puppy in 3 months. It was born
today. I want to train it to use the pads all the time so I don't
have to worry about not being able to get out in bad weather.

The breeder said the dog will weigh about 7lbs full grown.

What size Pad holder should I get?

thanks.

My personal opinion is just take the dog outside. Neither one of you
will melt.

As Janet said.

In my area, Papillons don't melt. In fact, they're about the
coolest and toughest little dogs I've ever met.

Ditto. I have an article on my Min Pin site that may be of help in
housebreaking a toy dog: http://www.totalminpin.net

Make no mistake, toy dogs ARE hard to housebreak. But if you put a few
months of effort into it you'll have 12 or so YEARS to enjoy your
housebroken dog.

Another alternative may be to let the dog out on a tether, as I do with
Muttley when it's rainy, icy, or snowy, and especially when he wants to go
out at night when otherwise I'd have to get dressed. He doesn't mind being
let outside to do his business, and he usually comes back in quickly if
it's really nasty out, but he really does not mind getting wet. I have the
tether anchored near the door, so I can reel him in if I need to. And then
I can clean up his poops when the weather is better. But usually I will
just put on a few layers of warm clothing and a raincoat and take him for
at least a short walk at least once a day. It's good for me and him. And
having a dog who is really housebroken allows you to take him to other
people's houses, motel rooms, and some places of business without worrying
about "accidents". They usually "aren't".
