When we had our last cocker, Honey, we had a puppy crate which she slept in at night, although the door to the crate was open so she could get about into the kitchen.
We have since moved house, to one which has a much bigger kitchen, but also has a utility room. We're getting a new pup in Feb and I would prefer not to have the new puppy in the kitchen so that we avoid the toiletting over a much wider area
. But then I am not sure if the utility is big enough - it's about 4'sq, and will have his bed in it.
I am aware that some owners keep their pups in crates overnight, so I am sure a 4' sq area should be big enough, but I wondered what you all thought
