Forum Rules
1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect.
2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff.
3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned.
4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule.

Has anyone heard of or used one of these? I was thinking of getting one for when we bring our puppy home.

That seems like it would topple and get destroyed mighty easily!


I have a soft crate from Guardian Gear and LOVE it.

I would be worried about not holding up. And if it's too big the pup may use one area to potty and sleep on the other. It might be a good idea to look into a wire crate with a divider which will allow it to grow with the pup.

That's what I was thinking. Definitely don't want my puppy thinking its okay to potty in it. Just thought I'd get some opinions.

I think it could work for a little puppy, but by the time the pup is 3-4 months old she'll be able to jump it/knock it over (depending on how heavy the bottom is). Smile

How about something like this instead? If you are looking for a playpen for her. You can use it outside so she can still learn to pee and poop in the grass

I may buy one and return it if it doesnt work out. Amazon is usually pretty good about that. I thought about the wire one but I liked this one because it was so portable.

I wouldn't expect something like that to hold up to a husky puppy. I have a metal Midwest exercise pen like the one Amy posted and it folds up nice an small for storage. It's a little on the heavy side but it's much more durable and more likely to withstand puppy husky abuse.

We had one once, it lasted all of a couple of hours. Those are not made to contain a Siberian puppy. We use plastic airline crates for our pups, and wire ones after the initial crate training is more solid.

Although this isn't the same thing, I had a soft crate that couldn't even keep a determined 10 pound Lhasa Apso in it.. HAHA!

I truly don't suggest it for a husky pup.

It is SO cute though!

I tried a soft crate before my sibe was crate trained and he ripped a huge hole in it in a matter of minutes. Now that he's crate trained he is fine in a soft sided crate, but soft stuff I would not recommend for a puppy or a dog that is not already crate trained.
