keep it outside?
I would try getting the puppy pads from Petsmart or Petco. They are better than newspaper, because they are absorbant, and one pad lasts alot longer than 6-7 sheets of newspaper.
Ideally, I would put the pad next to the front door. Show her the pad, if she starts to squat elsewhere, tell her no, pick her up and bring her to the pad. When she goes on the pad reward her. Make sure to not only reward with a treat, but also with praise. I would alternate the two... that way she doesn't associate peeing/pooping with getting a treat. She will expect it everytime she goes, and she will get fat.
Once she gets a handle on the pads, start watching her. Once she starts to use the pad, pick her up and bring her out. She will start associating peeing with going to the front door.
Still keep the pad there for accidents. But she will eventually get the hang of it.
My dog is almost 3 years old and will have an accident every now and again. You just need to watch for the signs. She will have her own way of telling you she has to go.
Good Luck!

First, let me beat you over the head for buying a lhasa-poo. no one that gives two shits about their dogs breeds designer mixes. Hopefully it's a first generation, otherwise you are completely screwed. I say this as someone whose next dog will not have papers, but it will either be from a rescue or police/protection dog trainer (and most of them are full of crap, but I've found two that seem honest and decent and I'll have been talking with them for at least 5 years before I get a dog so I know they love their dogs (and know I'll take good care of the one I get, that goes a long way for getting you a good dog). I'll visit both before I decide when I think I'm ready to do some serious competition training, and one's 840 miles each way, the other 1,040 in opposite direction).
Please tell me you didn't buy an AKC jack, or the urge to drive to CO and hurt you might be too strong to overcome. JRTCA is the only option (my distaste for the AKC's money grubbing BS is another post)
Now, house training. Crate and make the crate just big enough for the dog to turn around and lie down. Set a timer and take it out every hour. Supervised play ONLY after a good visit outside. When there are no accidents, gradually increase the time between potty breaks, and if the dog looks uncomfortable take them out. I trained my German shepherd this way. Took longer because she had a horrible bladder infection (one of the worst the vet had seen), but Auster would bark and dance by the door before she'd mess in the house. She'd even try to puke in the back of her crate to hide it. I tried to get her to puke in a trash can, but she never caught on since that's not as predictable as it coming out the other end.

I have never met a boxer that wasn't a wussy mommies dog deep down inside. THIS is a real dog. He's one of the ones I really want to meet before I decide if I can handle one of his pups.

The AKC jacks aren't worth a crap, I'll give you that. A good working jack is a different story. Independent as can be, but they're game little animals that act like a big dog (I'm a big dog person, obviously) aren't scared of much, and bounce back from anything quickly. If I was gonna get a terrier it would be a jagdterrier though.

A farm jack is far more likely to be healthy than one from a pet store, joe pet owner, or show breeder. Only way you can do better is working breeder that does health tests. On a farm, a sick jack is a dead jack.
Don't worry, you'll still spend enough at the vet with the poo to get another CBR. They are notorious for skin problems and allergies (I used to work for a vet, that's why I was hoping it was a first generation mix).
