They are adorable...Love puppies. I would put them in a small fenced area until they get big enough to be safe. I used a kennel to house break my Schnauzers. A dog does not like to have a mess where they sleep. Of course you have to put them out often during the day, always to the same spot. I had my Schnauzers house broke in about four weeks. It was so easy doing it by kennel training them...Good Luck..they are beautiful....
