he's gorgeous. we did the same getting up with pepper for a few weeks, vyer tiring but worth it i think. i used to sleep close by and take him out quickly when he whimpered. no talking, fuss just quick out and in. he was very good and trained quickly, didn't whimper unless he needed a wee. hope al goes well for you. if you don't get that many replies, it may be worth asking this question on the puppies question thread, more people may see it there and you can get a range of answers.
