With the relatively small amount of urine is there any chance he is “leaking” like from an emerging UTI or something?
Also, have you noticed any pee drips elsewhere? My male dog had a hard time controlling his bladder for the first 5 years (yes, years). He would drip and splatter pee multiple times a day, mostly when excited and scared but also sometimes just because he didn’t have full control.
In terms of the size of crate… I believe the old rule of thumb was something like - enough room to stand up, turn around, and lay down in. My dogs have always had crates that are slightly larger than required, but that crate looks like it’s big enough for 3 dogs of his size, theoretically.
Honestly, until you get him neutered I wouldn’t worry too much about it, just make sure you’re staying on top of clean bedding as much as possible for him. He’s had a lot of change and adjustment and if it’s not puddles it could be many things. Keep an eye on him, though, for anything like a potential UTI. Those can get scary, fast!
So it’s great bc it’s super comfy for them and plenty of room, but it does give them a little more leeway to feel like they can potty in one corner and sleep in another if needed (for months ours has been a neat freak so she holds it, but I can easily see how a regression would happen).
It sounds like he is a lovely dog!
