I have checked at ones on amazon, other internet sites, walmart, pets mart and craigslist. I thought I had one on craigslist, a man in my town had two large ones up for 30 dollars each. When I texted him to ask if he had them still he said yes. I proceeded to try to buy them but never got a text back...just the 'Yeah' My friend is giving me the travel crate from when she got her lab and he will fit in it for now but he'll grow pretty quick. I am seeking a larger model but if you have a medium one for a reasonable price I may be interested in that too. I just feel I should have something for him other than a travel kennel to crate train despite the internet saying it doesn't matter much.

Morgan, I have a spare crate, do you want to borrow it till you get one, its a 36 inch wire crate

We got our 3 door 42" with divider new in the box from ebay for $50 plus shipping.

That would be great since I am going to be up there. It's mighty kind of you!

What size would you guys recommend for a full grown? I would rather start off having a big one instead of buying new ones all the time.

Most people here have a 36" or 42" crate. However, to discourage puppies from eliminating in the crate, you want to make sure you get one with a divider.

ETA: Those are metal ones. Very unfamiliar with the plastic carriers.

My two wire ones are 42" and Ares has a plastic 40" one

Thanks. I think I'm going with a 42" one because my baby boy is part malamute too.
