I know of many breeders who do it there.
Tron has his there.So did Yukon and my previous GSD.
Dante,my brothers GSD also has it there.
My sisters one Husky has it there also.
So rest assure guys.Having it there is not a bad thing...
Iggie,sounds like she is going to be fine.Just some time and patience.Once she feels loved and a part of the family,then she will be fine.
The only thing I want to suggest is,don't clean the mess in front of her.And I wouldn't pat her either.This may give her the wrong signals and she may think it's ok.
