Ok, so EVERYONE says if your getting a puppy crate train em. We are getting a DDB so it's gonna be a pretty big beastie one day. Soooo, I was wondering what money saving but safe and reputable places would you recommend for getting the crate from.

There seem so many different types I'm confused.

    Large dog crates are huge have you got the room or willing to give up the amount of room required? Can you borrow one (smaller) to use especially when they are young and at the toilet training stage then at least you can decide which way to go as the dog gets bigger.

    DDB?

    Hintza I read the post and thought the same thing. DDB? I just googled it, and it's a Dogue de Bordeaux.
    We could all learn a little something from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.

    A smaller one when they are a pup will be better otherwise they will have too much room and may use one end as a toilet and the other to sleep.

    I recently purchased one wich i am willing to sell if interested. It is the same spec as first one on the website someone gave you a link for in another reply. My daughter purchased a puppy and then had second thoughts.

    Private message me if you are interested as it is only taking up space here. Will be a reasonable price.

    Sorry I should have thought that not everyone would know what a DDB is. Thanks for the advice and website....I'm still researching everything at this stage....including sizes etc.

    Just had a look at the pets at home one and they are giving away a free mattress with it too. Will research a little further now. Just convinced hubby that its not actually doggy prison and it is a good idea.
