Crate size?

[Dizzle]

What size crate do I need for my Border Terrier puppy? Will the same size last him into adulthood?

Can anyone link me to some cheap ones please?

Thank you

Petplanet do good budget crates. My Patterdale's crate has done her from puppyhood to now, she's 19 months old. I think hers is the Petplanet small size, don't make the mistake I made which is to think they need loads of room in a crate, the first one I bought could have fitted a Shetland pony in it our house rabbit lives in it now

You can get crate dividers to make crates smaller for puppies, then they can grow into them. Henry has a massive crate, but his was not for housetraining, but for stopping him making nighttime raids on the cupboards and bins

i got mine from ebay, was under £20 inc postage. it seems sturdy enough and i'm happy with it. i found a guide that said 3 inches above head i think, and min width the length of the dog. If you know roughly what size she will be as an adult i would use that as measurements. i would make sure its high enough because i didn't take into account the width of the bed!

Ok, which of these would be right for a Border Terrier?
Head says this size:
76cm Long x 53cm Wide x 59cm High (30" Long x 21" Wide x 24" High)

Heart says this size:
91cm Long x 60cm Wide x 66cm High (36" Long x 24" Wide x 26.4" High)

I have a 36" one, and it is a big bit of kit which takes up a fair bit of room! It's too big for Henry really (who is a Cocker, although size-wise he's probably closer to a small Springer than an average Cocker) and I suspect he's bigger than a Border.

This is the one my Patterdale has, her bed is in it which I think is a medium sized high sided one from P@H. All the Borders I have met are slightly chunkier/larger than my terrier so maybe go a size up?

I’ve gone for a 30 inch, inbetween both of your sizes! I can always buy a bigger one when he gets older if needed!
