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.

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. Smile

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

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.
