Does he have to urinate in the kennel? Could you not take him out regularly to wee somewhere you can hose down?
I would urgently contact a behaviourist who is familiar with the breed.
Keep going :-) Puppies are unbelievably time consuming, but it's definitely worth putting the time and effort in.
I assume you feed kibble/dry food?
When a pup is so massively motivated by food, why on earth would you remove that from your tool kit??

How long ago was her season? Does she seem well in herself besides not eating? Does she have a temperature at all? Aside from that, what is her...

Beautiful boy!
What an awfully sad situation for you. I know a lot of people will say that you will know when it's the right time to let him go, wait until he...
Hi Lola, don't let them off lightly. Give 'em hell, they'll still love ya ;)
