Cute kid!

Remember to tie the sides together with something durable.

Cool does he have plenty of room to stand up and run around and most important does he like it?

[ashleycat]

Haven't tried yet. But when he stands next to it.. it looks tall enough.!

[JenBKR]

Oh what a cutie! Does she approve of the crate?

[lute]

now, i'd have kids if you could put them in a crate when you want to go out.

that's the kind of crate i bought for Gracie. it's the most sturdy crate i have...i have 4 crates.

I have that same exact crate (1636DD) for Kaige, I love it, it's very durable!

[lv4dogs]

That's a good crate.

You should put a side from the cardboard box under the metal "bottom" or Charlie will make a lot of noise in the crate. Trust me, you'll be glad you did it.

You'll have to get some pictures of Charlie in the crate.

Hmmm, my crate is quiet as a mouse even when Kaige is excited and wiggles the entire crate. lol

awwww! your baby is so adorable* hugs hugs*

[lv4dogs]

Hhmm...I have had to place cardboard in both of my crates. The noise they made drove me crazy.

Maybe it's the difference in the coating of the metal?
My crates are completely silver...just a "tarnish" or something like that over the metal. That crate may have some sort of "padding" with the black _____ that covers the metal.
I really have no idea.

That could very well be it, mine is PVC coated (I think they call it the PVC coating).

Ooh, it's a nice one!

A dog should not be able to "run around" their a crate. Crates are supposed to recreate that den feeling. They are most comfortable when all they can do is barley turn around. Have you seen the thread with the husky named Nebo all crunched up in tight places? That's the way dog like their crates best, so they feel secure.
