[quote=Anonymous]We are going to be getting a 12-week-old standard poodle in a couple weeks. Poodle will probably end up weighing 50-60 pounds (based on parents' size) but of course is nowhere near that now. I'm trying to figure out what size crate to get, and also what style. Some seem to think the plastic travel crates are better (more enclosed, dog prefers that) and others prefer the metal. Do you have a plastic v metal preference? And did you start with one crate for your puppy and then buy another later on? I have the same question about a dog bed--do I buy one now and another later? They are all so expensive... Also based on some recs on this forum I read the Monks of New Skeet puppy book, which was enormously helpful. I was interested that they recommend against crating the puppy at night, and suggest letting him/her sleep on a dog bed but with a leash secured to your bed. Has anyone does this? Thanks for helping a novice! We want to do best by our dog.[/quote]
