I'm looking into buying a Kennel Aire Commander series crate for in the car.
what do you guys think would be the best size crate for travel for a basenji? I have really big crates at home, but I don't think the travel wire crate should be that big.
I think as long as it is a puppy and you make the "cave" a happy place to be, they will learn to go in and actually want to hang in there. Make it matter of fact, not optional.
The only reasons I would not crate little bs with big bs is
(1) I don't want any fighting so you would have to play that one by ear
(2) If the little one potties in the crate accidentally the big b has to suffer too.
But I only have 1 so thats all I could think of
Indy has a "Large" size wire crate from walmart. We decked it out with a king size comforter, two fleece blankets, and a life size "puppy" stuffed animal. Then we throw in a deer antler and two of his favorite stuffed toys and tell him to have at it. So far no problems. The other cool thing about this crate is that dh made him a "deck" ontop. We put the kennel next to the couch so he can climb up the top and onto the deck. He hangs out there and looks out the window all day long sometimes.
When he was younger we put the divider in, but once he showed us that he knew pottying in his crate was not ok we just let him have all the room. So far so good.
