I have a 7 or 8 month old Miniature Pinscher. He was a rescue, and the person could not tell me his exact age. I got him at about 5 to 6 months old.
He only ever peed in the house twice and never again. I was ecstatic! He did continue to poo in the house and has only stopped doing this a few days ago. From the second night I had him he would hold his bladder for 8-9 hours a night without doing anything in his cage.
Okay, so my problem is this. My Miniature Pinscher has to be crated when we are not home. I went out for only the 6th time since we have had him, and he pees in his crate every time. Even if we are only gone for an hour. What can I do? On average how long can these dogs hold their bladder? By the way I walked him for 30 minutes before I put him in is crate, and he had done his business. Thanks for any help you all can give me!

The pet seems to be getting a lot of fluid to drink and of course that's going to create more potty breaks in the day. Cut back on the water intake when you are going away for an hour and then give the dog water when you return.
Or, if you can make a fenced in dog lot in your back yard for him to stay when you're away, the heavy drinking wouldn't matter as you give him a potty break before coming back inside. Another idea would be to have the dog wear a belly band for incontinent problems when indoors when you leave the house or place a pee pad in the crate so it holds the liquid.
I have an older female who uses doggie pants as she's incontinent from having been frequently bred in her younger years and when we got her it didn't take long to find out the washable panties saved a lot of extra cleaning behind her when indoors.
