Crate size
« on: November 29, 2012, 12:12:48 PM »
  Okay, another question.... Hopefully I will be contribute answers too soon!!!   :o
I want to crate train our puppy (picking her up next week and not sure on the name yet!)
I can only get crate here that don't do a divider so I am looking for a crate that will see her target to adult hood ( I have bought a smaller basket to put in there when she is a puppy) I know the ideal size is for them to comfortably return around and stand up but not much bigger -' so what would that be? Adult size please
Thanks again!!!

I "think" Charlie's is a 36" - I'm sure that was the general consensus on here when I was reading. I did get him a 30" and whilst he could fit it wasn't comfortable in my eyes, the 36" is ideal though...

I did get a 30 inch to begin with, but moved to a 36 inch when I saw how big he was becoming  :lol2:

We have to use one initially anyway as our house is on four floors and has an open plan staircase....  If she mastered the stairs early we could have problems :005:
I have kept our kids baby gates just in case!!!

I have never crated Charlie, I've only recently bought one to take to shows with us, so he could chill out - however he doesn't want to be in it and he'd rather sit on my knee - He'll happily sleep in it at home/hide in it when it's teeth brushing times :)

I just used a baby gate
