So we are looking at getting another medium sized dog and have been looking at crates.
All our dogs have had just the wire crates like this
http://www.petsmart.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2753745
Which have been fine. Although OH thinks they have been a bit hard on our flooring and also hard to get in the car if we should need to.
We always get crates that are massive compared to the dog so that they can be in there for a few hours and it not be such a big deal with room for food water and toys ect.
OH was in the pet store yesterday and now thinks we should get one like this:

I thought these were just travel ones.
The one we would get is only about an inch smaller than the wire crate that we would get but i don't know if the dog would feel to enclosed.
OH likes it because he could get it in the car easier, It didn't have bits on the bottom that scratch the flooring and we don't need to put a cover over it.
I would still prefer a wire one i think because dog can see out and we can see what the dog is up to.
We put a cover over them at night because they settle better.
Help guys?
