One crate or two?

Basenji Talk
  • Does anyone crate both of their dogs together in one large crate?

    I am thinking of buying a larger crate and letting Chase and Zahra room together in the larger crate while I am at work. They are always trying to get into the same kennel when I leave for work in the morning and sometimes I let them now that Zahra is a little better about not pottying in the crate during the day anymore.

    I also have to admit I have a selfish reason for this, I would like to be able to reach my dinning room table and regain some of the space back. :rolleyes:

  • It just scares the *** out of me to have dogs sharing crates when no one is home. You just can't tell what might start a life ending fight. And when both dogs are trapped together, they can get really short with each other.

    So my suggestion would be no :)

  • Although mine used to play together in their crates together I don't think I would trap them in there with the doors closed. Sometimes TOPAZ just annoys C3 and he likes his space when she's being a pain in the rear.

    For peace of mind I would get two :)

  • I would not reccomend doing that, fights start over the slightest things. Too many things can go wrong…...seperate cartes is the way to go IMO.:)

    I would recommend when you have the time, take some steel wool and strip off all the rust and then spray paint it to prevent more rust from forming.

    Thanks, that is a good idea. She has a comfy bed and lots of blankets. Althogh as I have said before when she gets out of the crate everything has to come out with her. I will try setting everything up in the big crate and leave the door open. Thanks!!
