matt schmidt Webboard User Reg: 01-10-2005 Posts: 214 Loc: Los Angeles Offline	Is my crate too small? I bought a Large Petmate VariKennel(36 x 24 x 26) when I first got my GSD pup. He is almost 7 months and around 70 lbs? It looks a little cramped in there and I am wondering if it is too small for him. He still has some room in there, but lately when I let him out in the morning he has his face pressed up against the gate. He also now has a red spot on the front of his muzzle just below his nose. I am not sure where this came from, but this mornig there was a little blood on it. I think it might be from a bite I think he got out on the trails by a big black insect (possibly stink bug). I didn't notice it until a few days later and I wonder if sleeping agianst the front has irritated it, or caude it in the first place. It doesn't seem to be causing any pain. He could care less if I touch it. Any thoughts on crate size? Would prefer not to buy a new one, but can't help feeling sorry for him in there. I do remember the crates in the Leerburg videos seemed like pretty close quarters.
