Need advice on what size of crate to get. We pick up our new bully on the 10th - not sure what size of crate I should get her. Size and brand recommendations would be helpful. Thank-you
We got pretty much the biggest crate they had, get one with a divider in it that is adjustable so that you can crate train properly. It will allow you to have a very small space for you bully when you first bring her home then you can walk it out. Also when we first got Bacon we draped a towel around the inside walls of the crate to make him feel more secure. Have you read the "bringing a new bully home" article? Here is the link to the article
both of my babies have the wire crates (great ventilation) and I use the 30"L x 19"W x 21"H .... my first crates were the precision brand they are nice heavy duty crates but my last one is an icrate from Petco you can buy them online for a lot less (about 1/2 the cost of the precision)
I got the Midwest 30" crate for Herman, but poor thing is all squished in it now, he cant stretch out his legs (he's just about 8 months) - although he loves it. So I'm going to get a 36" crate and that should be good going forward. He has a 38" travel crate and it's very HUGE and lots of room but too big for where its located in my house.
We use wire crates and the girls have the 36" crate and Buddy has a townhouse 48". Most of them come with a divider so you can make their space smaller at first to help with potty training. Plus we get the two door model. it has a door on the end and on the side. it is more versatile then the single door models.
Buy on ebay! I paid 50 bucks for a brand new cage, with free shipping. My cage is huge, I don't remember the exact measurements but it is huge. Folds up snaps together for storage or travel. Here is a picture of me in the cage not my pup LOL
