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. |

| Hello, I am getting my new pup this weekend. I plan on crate training, but not sure which is better. Metal or plastic??? Or what size, I was thinking 36"/L? Thanks |

| from what i read on here most people recommend he 42" on i believe. i have the metal crate for both of my dogs and mine are the 36", but they were given to me, and it's fine for my husky mix (39.6 pounds) and my husky right now is only about 4 months old |

| I'd recommend metal, as well. For size reference here is Loki (55lbs) in a 42" crate. |

| My 2 oldest ones both have 42" tall metal kennels, my two younger ones both have plastic kennels. It depends on what your dog prefers, or if they can escape the metal ones. |

| If you have the room, I'd definitely suggest the 42' one. They have plenty of room to stretch out, but if you don't have the room, a 36' will probably be fine. Since you're getting a puppy though, I'd recommend getting one with a divider.
As far as plastic vs. wire, it really depends on the dog. Some do fine in metal crates and some absolutely hate it. |

| Loki has a 42" metal crate. I second the divider suggestion. Size ref: |

| My two have small crates Kerian's is 32" and Blaze's is 36". They really don't have to use them that much being someone is always home during the day and they sleep in our bedroom at night.
The other day they both walked in the smaller crate it was so funny looking I wish I had gotten a picture. |
