Apple orange dude. The rule is 1 hour over their age.

"A general rule of thumb is that a puppy can hold it for as many hours as she is months old, plus one–for a three-month-old pup, that’s four hours. But to prevent accidents in the crate, which make housetraining harder, as well as urinary tract infections, most experts recommend taking your puppy out every one to two hours during the day.

You should also give her a bathroom run after she eats or drinks, wakes up from a nap, or finishes a play session–all times when she’s likely to go. She also be taken out first thing in the morning and last thing at night. And always watch for warning signs that she needs to go. Clues include whining, pacing, circling, or sniffing the ground. If you see any of these distress signals, take your pup outside right away.

Puppies younger than six months old need at least one midday bathroom break, so if you work during the day, you’ll need to hire someone to come to your house and let your puppy out. Or go with an alternate routine while you’re away. Every dog is different, and smaller breeds can’t hold it as long as larger ones. If your pup soils her crate, that may be a signal she needs more frequent bathroom breaks."
