All dogs, even grown dogs, should be crated for no more than nine hours. Puppies still in house training may need more frequent breaks. Puppies younger than six months will need a potty break during the middle of the day. It is important to err on the side of caution when crating.

Originally Answered: How long after a dog has her puppies can she get back in heat? Having a litter should not alter the timing of a dog's heat cycle. So she will have it approx. 6 months after he last cycle/4 months after her litter was born/2–3 months after he litter was weaned.

Puppies under six months of age shouldn't stay in a crate for more than three or four hours at a time. They can't control their bladders and bowels for that long. The same goes for adult dogs being housetrained. Physically, an older dog can hold it, but they don't know they're supposed to.

Labradoodles should be bathed every 2 to 3 weeks but can go up to 4 or 5 weeks depending on the time of year and their other grooming habits. For example, a dog will shed more in the fall and spring as he or she prepares for the cold or hot weather respectively; you will want to bathe him or her more during this time.
