Staying outside

I have been researching getting a OES for sometime, and had one growing up in NY, and loved it. I now live in SC and have a huge fenced in yard and back screened in porch. I work 8-5 during the week and my question is wil the puppy be okay outside or should i keep indoors until she gets older? I can keep the puppy in my kitchen during the day. The puppies I am looking at are 12 weeks old, is that still a good age to adopt? Any info will help.

i don't know about keeping the puppy outside. my dog is entirely indoors...except for walks and playing.

but i did get truman at 12 weeks. and it was wonderful! we bonded well. he had been paper trained at his first home, but not really potty trained, but he picked it up...not quickly, but as i understand it, no oes picks it up REALLY quickly. he did fine, though. :)
Thanks for the info. I picked up "maxwell' last friday from the Breeder. he is adorable. So far he stays in my large enclosed porch for most of the time and also has the run of the back yard all day. He was great the first few days, but he had an accident last night and pee'd on his bed. Hopefully we can fix that soon. He knows when to go out most of the time though. Thanks again for the info.

enjoy your new puppy! it makes me jealous for one.
