Re: crate size for pup
They need enough room to stand and turn. She will have most of her height and length by the time she's 6 or 7 months old. Ours is a medium.

Re: crate size for pup
The size of crate will determine how big the pup will grow female staffy but the male if it was me id get the large.

Re: crate size for pup
30" should be fine. You're right about too big of a cage. It can cause toilet issues but it's not definite.

Re: crate size for pup

Re: crate size for pup
Just the bed. Make sure she's been outside before bed and you should have no problems. We've caged from day one and never had an accident.
