My puppy will be about 6 pounds when I get him, what size crate should I get? Can I get a medium sized crate and put something in it to take up extra space while he's young and remove it when he gets to be big?
Full Question:
When getting a crate, being that my puppy will be about 6 pounds when I get him, what size crate should I get? He will grow rapidly (Rottweiler) and I may be spending a fortune on crates to accommodate his growth. Can I get a medium sized crate and put something in it to take up extra space while he's young and remove it when he gets to be big enough? 
Cindy's Answer:
There are some of the wire crates that actually come with a divider you can install to partition the crate off. I believe they are made by Midwest. You could google that for more info.
I’ve used a large cardboard box, and secured it in the back of a large crate for my puppies as a “homemade” divider.
I hope this helps,
