My personal feeling is that I'd rather err on the side of too big than too small. You can fix a too big crate by shoving something in the back of it to block off space. But you can't fix too small, and I worry about comfort. Some of the wire crates come with divider panels, which work really well for growing pups since it's easy to give the pup more room as she grows.

I do have five of them around here, though only two are in use, for Ebony & Panda. About the only time all five would be in use at the same time would be in the MotorHome (if we still had one!). They're sturdy enough for Shih Tzu and still light enough where *I* can handle them. Vicki

HI all, looking for a crate for Watsons new friend as she will need somewhere to have her own time etc, and was wondering what would be a good size to start off with? Don't want to get anything too small, and obviously don't want to get it too big either. Thanks in advance

Hey! Check out Gumtree in your area. I just looked and they come in small, med and large.....starting at £20.00.....new! But that's in York.......so check online in Devon.....also Amazon has them on sale today.

Oh that's great! Thanks Vicki and Crystal off to search for U.K ones x

That's the same as Abby's ....glad it's endorsed by you Vicki, I didn't know if it was a good one..:)

When I use individual crates on my guys, I use the 24" Midwest Ultima Pro Triple door crate. They're a very sturdy crate and can even be stacked. With the three doors, I can put it almost anywhere and still have a door available. It used to come with a divider too, but I don't see that listed in the description now.

I thought it would be neat if we would do a Christmas Cookie Recipe Swap since we live so far apart from one another to do the traditional cookie swap........... This is one of many of my favorite cookies: Mom's Buttermilk Cookies 1/2 Cup butter, softened 1 Cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 2-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/2 cup buttermilk In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
