My very best advice to you is to get some basic knowledge of dog raising. You really need a foundation in basics here!! Get on line or go purchase a few books for raising puppies and puppy training. You had no idea what crate training is..and you didn't know your 6 week old puppy could be trained to go potty outside -- this shows that you really need to read up and do it quickly so you don't make a lot of preventable mistakes.
No potty pad training. Train your dog to accept a crate as her night time home. Dont allow your pup to make a mistake, after all if she does it really is YOUR mistake. Put her on a potty schedule. Don't give water at night, take her outside to go potty at least 8 times a day. Reward for going potty outside with a small piece of cheese or hotdog. You will find lots of very good basic dog care/training information if you just google "how to raise puppies" or "how to train a puppy".
Good luck

Darned things didn't do a lick of good...
Not when there was a spot that smelled just right just to the left of the pad.
Of course, if you pepper the floor...

Exactly. This is new territory for you, that is all I was saying.
You put the puppy in the crate AFTER you have gone outside WITH the puppy and have seen it go potty, then give a treat. Come inside and put puppy in the crate, shut the door and walk away. Completely ignore all whining for up to an hour.
The crate itself should be very small, especially for the breeds your puppy is made up of. The crate should be no larger than a cat crate at this point. Tiny. The reason is that if you crate is too large the puppy will start using one end of the crate as a potty area and then just using the other area to sleep in. You can expect several accidents in the crate even though it will be of proper size.
Puppy should go outside to potty with you every single time, AND always on leash. This ensures you know when she has gone and how often and also keeps you on track for rewarding her. Reward every single time she goes and as soon as she goes. You should bring a food treat with you every single time you take her outside on leash to potty.
times puppy will need to go potty at six weeks old:
--After eating a meal (at this age with in 10 mins and usually much shorter)
--After drinking water
--After play time
--After nap time
--After being let out of the crate
--After waking up in the mornings
--Just before bed at night
So, pretty much, at six weeks of age your puppy will need to go out after every single activity of the day. Once an hour during the day time isn't too much. By 8 weeks of age you should cut down to every two hours, and of course, after eating.
Your puppy should have a couple hours of crate time during the day and also be crate at night. Don't give water in the crate and pick up water three hours before bed time and give water as soon as she comes in from going potty in the morning. ~ Feed three times a day at this point. ~ Small breed dogs need more freqent meals because they tend to use food energy very very quickly. This often will cause a toy or small breed puppy to have low blood sugar attacks. Make sure you are not free feeding (leaving food out at all times) because this won't allow you to know when she needs to poop.
