    I got Sam's crate at petsmart for a reasonable price.

    First, never force the puppy into the crate. Let him/her go into it by him/her self, then praise and give a treat. For the first month or two, always feed in the crate, as the puppy will associate the crate with food. I did that with Sam and he loves his crate. When it's time to go in, try to get the pup to walk in by itself and say 'kennel' (or whatever word you want to use). When he/she crys because they want out, ignore her/him until she/he's quiet. Good luck and I can't wait to see pics of the cutie!!

    I never crate trained my dogs, so I can't help you there .
    Sometimes places online like Drs. Foster and Smith have some wire crates on sale.

    Also check craigslist, your local Want Ads - there are often perfectly good used crates available.

    If you have a Petco near you here arew some crates they sell. I really can't recommend anything, as I don't buy crates from Petco often.

    Here are three wire crates they sell:

    You guys don't know how much I appreicate your help!
    Alyssa, thanks for posting those sites- i've got them bookmarked now!

    We will be naming her Lucy-don't have a 'middle' name yet!
    Also, the next time we are a Petco, we will be buying a few things for the pup: collor, leash, i.d.tag, probably the crate, bed, and a few toys!
    Thanks again, I'm SOOOO excited!
