Ok puppy arrives in 6 weeks. I need recommendations for a crate for the house and ideally a transport method for the car for the wee guy. Any links to amazon etc appreciated. Even a clicker review would be great
Re: Recommend me a Crate We used the Crufts Playpen, and found it excellent. Not cheap, but really sturdy and safe: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Crufts-Safe-Sturdy-Freedom-Puppy/dp/B003CKXDZO/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Welcome to your new addition!
Re: Recommend me a Crate For clickers, the ones that already come with wrist straps are great... The crate we have is borrowed from a friend, but it is like this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb...=dog crates large&sprefix=dog+crates,pets,285 It has been fine, and is cheaper than the one Karen suggested, but she didn't go straight into it... She started out in a smaller sized crate that I had had for my last pup (cocker spaniel). If the crate's too big, s/he will be tempted to use one end as a toilet. It needs to be small enough so it is all 'nest' when you first bring her / him home. Apologies if I'm repeating what you already know.

Sorry, can't remember if you've already said. Chosen a name??? Clare

Re: Recommend me a Crate There is nothing more adorable than a whole heap of puppy... I was 4 out of 4 when it came to picking Brew - was just relieved she had 4 girls in the first place! Clare
Re: Recommend me a Crate I can almost guarantee that I get the one in the photo who thinks he can hold down his mum with one paw lol
