    Sorry, I've already got the crate, Jen has lived in her crate her whole life. She hasn't chewed anything ever. She hasn't chewed her crate, either.

    If we were closer, I would certainly take you up on the 34"crates. We find Jen is such a hard size to buy crates for. She is so tall, yet so small. Typical Grey. If you get a crate the right height for her, when she curls up in it, she takes up about 1/4 of the crate.

    Hey, I don't think I ever told you PTers that on her first vet visit the vet said she had a sore back from being in a crate that was too small. But she LOVES her crate. I can't belive her previous owners would abuse her in such a mean way.

    P.S. Might want to check the dates on the posts Jenny has had that wire crate since the day I got her, and we got the blue crate in... June/July I think...

    She looks like she loves it. Personally I would never use one. I have witnessed to many problems. I have seen dogs open the zipper(I am not kidding), rolling away in them as someone else mentioned, ripping and tearing throough them, I have seen people acidentially fall on them and hurt the dog inside, and the worst was a dog on the outside attacking the dog on teh inside. The one inside got some sever bites and had no place to go. So I personally would neve use one. I have a gold one for Sheena of the first crate you posted and a black one for Luca. We got the second largest size we could so they would have a ton of head room.

    Nice crate! Jenny's not a mover is she? I've heard of dogs rolling in those.

    I don't really know anything about that type of crate, but what I do know is that Jenny looks adorable in it. Cute pictures.
