Default Help with housebreaking

I'm at the end of my rope, so please if you have any advice, please share.

I have a ten-month old female GSD. I got her when she was five months old.
She was the last of her litter to sell, maybe because she's long coated,
plus she seems a little small for her age. She was kept outside, and the
breeder never worked on housebreaking her.

I started her on crate training right away, but I soon realized that it
didn't faze her at all to sit in her own urine or poop. After five months,
she still has accidents in her crate four or five days a week. She knows how
to tell us she wants to go out; she goes over to the door and touches the
doorknob with her nose. She knows what I mean when I tell her to "go
outside". I've taken her to the vet to check for health problems, but she
checked out fine. She's on a regular schedule of eating, exercising and
going out. She can "hold it" all night just fine... but sometimes she just
doesn't, and when she doesn't, she steps in it and lays in it.

I don't know what else to do, and my husband is ready to return her to the
breeder. I don't want to, but neither can we have her in the house under
these conditions for much longer. Does anyone have any housebreaking advice
for this kind of situation?
