Are you sure he's comfy?

Oh she does, but as I said we have a crate for 70lbs and under, but it was either that or 25lb and under and I'm quite certain she wouldn't have fit in that one lol We also are not working on potty training, since she IS potty trained, so I don't have to worry about her going in her crate.

Charlie is atleast 50 lbs.maybe 55

He only whined for a second. Then I went there and told him to sit then lay down. And now he looks like he's gonna fall asleep.

I wonder if he's already been crate trained before? He's taking to it pretty easy.

ohhhhh yeah that looks perfect for him!

Take a gander at this thread; it may help you out too. Pics of Aussiesin crates hehe

looks fine to me. that's how Gracie fits in her crate. i would put a blanket in his crate though. he needs somthin soft to lay on.

and on a sidenote, looks like we have the same type of crate. Front and side door? I don't know, looks similar, yours is just smaller. I probably would have got that one if they had it at walmart, but ah well as I said I'm not potty training her so its ok.

Yup 2 doors. It also has a thingy I can put in if it were to big for puppies. I got it at petsmart.

A divider; yup sounds exactly like the one we got! I wonder what HJ did with the box.. probably tossed it lol. This is the one we got, the larger one of course:

I think it's perfect for him and yes, I think he looks very comfy
I only have this picture of Bon and it was quite a long time ago (he was 6 mos old). Needless to say he's grown to about twice the size he is here but he still fits very nicely in his kennel, he's now 153 lbs, almost 2 yrs old and his cage size is 48x30x35.

Water bottle seems nice. How do you teach a dog that drinks from bowl to drink from bottle too?

I just kept taking my finger and rubbing the bottom and showing him that water came out of it. Didn't take him long to understand

a lot of people get crates that are too big for their dogs, that crate looks just perfect for Charlie my dogs heads lift up pressed againt the door when they sleep as well. dos like little spaces, I know Misty is an 18" 30lbs border collie, she can crawl inside, turn around and sleep cosily inside my 5lbs rabbits kennel.
