Thanks for all of your suggestions. I went w/ the 36' crate. It is a pretty good size metal one. It came w/ the dividers so as the puppy grows I can make the room for him bigger. I'll post pics once I get him all settled. I pick him up on Friday! I'm so excited. I just hope that Pandy adjusts well, she has been the only girl for the past 3 years and is spoiled rotten! But I think she needs a playmate!
