Does she wiggle all over and dribble when you lean down to pet her? Young dogs often do this as a combination of excitement and submissive urination. One of the things that can help is to tone down your greetings to her. When you walk into the room, ignore her for a few minutes and then calmly say hello. Once she calms down, then sit on the floor and calmly pet her. You can also use this to your advantage. You can use a high, squealing happy voice when she is in the right place and tell her to potty, good girl! If you know what makes her piddle, it isn't too hard to get it on cue! Treat!

Young dogs very commonly get urinary tract infections which can greatly reduce their bladder control. It would be worth checking just in case.

Give her some time to settle in and she'll do fine!

I hope it is just a UTI. There are a few structural malformations that can cause constant leakage, but if this is a new thing according to the breeder, sounds like a UTI. I'm glad you had a good experience calling the breeder...that's the best part of going to a good one. You can always call them and they want to help.

I've seen both males and females do it.

Structural things like ectopic ureters are fixable...but sounds like you and the breeder are already on top of things so I would try not to worry.
