Who uses crates? And what size do you have for your dobie? I have two dobies and a rottie right now. I have decided/or perhaps was motivated by the crew... to get into dog training very specifically. So I have put a Canine good citizen on my Rottie and we will be doing our Rally obediance debut in December. I will be getting the CGC for Indigo my young blue dobie by year end, and I will take her into agility training. For shows and frequently for the training they ask that you have your dog crated while you walk the courses or whatever. So I'm looking at investing in a traveling crate for both. I have found a good soft sided crate that is 37" high, 42" long and 30" wide. Would this be reasonable? It has a rounded top so the entry is likely around 33 " high with the roof being 37". My only worry is would you put your large dog in a softsided crate?

I got the soft crate and I love it. I have been working with my lovely's to get them used to it outside. I only paid $35 on ebay for it and $20 for shipping. So I think I'm better off than the Walmart option financially. And it will work great for agility giving my love shade and privacy when we are outside.
