Crate size
Hi all
We are now getting our pup on Thursday and just wondered what is a good size crate to have, are they good? do any you have them? and do your dogs use them well?
Thanks in advance x

Re: Crate size
i honestly dont no what i would of done without my crate for kaos! Ty doesnt use one but he stopped being destructive and chewing before he was 1 so it wasnt so bad! Kaos is nearly 2 and i still cant trust him out of his crate when we are out.....
He loves his crate as well and quite happily trots on in when he thinks he should.
As to size i would get the biggist u have space for and section it off to make it smaller for your pup, if its too big while pup is a baby it wont help to potty train pup. Pup wont want to soil her bed so it will encourage to her hold on (unless crate is big and then it wont help lol) but like i sais i would get the biggest crate u can so its good when shes fully grown and section it off while shes a baby
