Miniature Pinschers

I just got a 9 week old Min Pin. This is my first small breed dog,and im in need some advice on crate training.I know the whining is caused by seperation from mom but generally how long does this go on and second while in the crate should i leave any water or food? I know what goes in must come out and im trying to stop the peeing in the crate,should i not put water in the crate while im gone? I have a chocalate lab and had none of these problems with her while crate training. I know different breeds differ problems but i just wanna make sure my new Min Pin is happy so any advice on this breed would be appriciated. Thx all
