Title: Dog crate.
Post by: grracee on June 19, 2010, 09:23:17 PM: Sorry, I know i've started a couple of threads asking about dog crates but i've still had no luck in finding one local, i've tried ebay, preloved & freecycle & now Charlie is getting alot more fidgety in the car i really need one now.
I've been looking on the Savic website & they have one on there, there is medium which is 61cm & intermediate which is 76cm. It says both sizes are suitable to a cocker. Since i went on this morning the intermediate have sold out so i was just wondering whether the medium (61cm) is still big enough??
Thanks

Its a little bit small but perfect for car journeys, as he can move around and lie down- it just isnt very big. I think 61cm is about 24" if my maths is correct ph34r but dont hold me to it. It should be fine for Charlie ;) :D xxx

My last couple of crates have been off ebay though

He has them at buy it now - mine came really quickly and the paperwork came from Berriewood Wholesale in the end so he must use an ebay account - but when I look on their own website they are £29.99 so cheaper to get it from him on ebay.
