Despite the fancy title "designer dogs" are mutts. As a general rule, the smaller the dog - the harder it is to housebreak.

Since they are mutts, you can't really answer that question. It all depends on the individual dog. But the smaller dogs are generally more difficult than larger ones. If you are worried about housebreaking then go to your local animal shelter and adopt an older dog that is already trained.

Hi,
I don't think the breed matters as much as the time you are willing to devote to the training and how patient you are. Lots of praise when they go outside and do their "business" is what I've found is the best method. Also, pushing their noses in whatever mistake they've made in the house is NOT a good idea. It makes them fear you rather than respect you. When you see them about to go, tell them "No" in a firm voice and take them outside and give them a lot of praise when they do what they're supposed to. Also, monitoring what they eat and drink and taking them out right after will help minimize accidents.
They want to please you, so they'll enjoy making you happy.
I've also found my females get the hang of it a little quicker than my males, but be prepared for accidents.
Good luck!

well, my dog isn't a mixed breed, but our Johnson American Bulldog was pretty easy to house train. I think any dog is as long as you constantly watch them and take them outside.

The sad thing is that it isn't that easy. Dog's personalities and smarts are what makes them potty trainable.
