Chad Felkel Webboard User Reg: 04-22-2004 Posts: 52 Loc: Offline	I have a 12 week old Mal who is in need of a new crate. Could someone refer me to a good crate? The one he was shipped in has seen better days. It looks like the breeder had used it before. I would prefer a wire crate as I hope this will make him more comfortable in the crate. I have not caught him in the act, but he has escaped a few times from his current crate.

Buy it to the dogs max size, use the divider until he's full grown. Look for a crate that breaks down without needing tools. Collapses nicely. And holds all parts (such as tray) when collapsed (great for trips). Wire crates that collapse are easier to put on top of a car so it doesn't take up cargo space. Two Latches on each door (if there is more than one door). Hinders escape. Sometimes one front door and one side door is convenient. Hope that helps!

The ones that collapse into one piece (ie suitcase style) are more expensive but definately worth the extra cost! You can throw a large towel or blanket over the crate to create a "den" effect. We use the plastic airline-type crates only when club training. They get pretty filthy and are stored in the garage...
