Greetings all, my 11month old continues to pee and poop insided the house and in his crate. He is not just spraying or marking, I dont seem to know what is going on. I bought him from a reputable breeder when he was 9 months old. I cant seem to break this habit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well first of all how long are you leaving him crated. At 11 months he should be able to hold it for quite a while (6 hrs or more). Make sure to let him out right before you crate him as well. Is he fixed? Duchess and Barrett are 1 and 2 respectively and we can crate them for 8 hrs with no accidents.

At 11 months you have a real problem on your hands as this is becoming habit. I know from past threads it has been recommended to start over from the beginning, as if your pup was a brand new/young puppy.
~Clean everything he is using the bathroom on with an enzyme killing spray to rid it if the odor.
~Start taking him out every 20 minutes or so, increasing the length of time. You might want to use a timer to remind yourself.
~Tons of praise when your pup uses the bathroom correctly.
How much room does he have in his crate? He should only have enough room to turn around not much else. Good luck! It can be done!

I agree with Dora - It's back to the basics for your baby.
