It depends. I've never had to crate another breed forever, but my one basenji would get destructive if left alone.. the 2nd one would pee on my bed. So crating it was. However, I'm home so they were rarely crated. My current basenji is fine loose as long as she's alone. So like they said, do it slow, confine to an area that is safe and see how it works out. But if you need to keep crating, most dogs sleep far more than people.. up to 17 hrs a day. Just exercise before and lots after so they aren't bored.
Stop Laughing at Me!

Abbey used to have (emphasis on the used to part) a Funny Man. He had a big head and big ears, long arms and legs, and bright red hair that stuck out in all directions. The best part was when you tilted him over, he laughed. When he laughed at her she would try to pull out his hair. One day I put Funny Man on the corner shelf next to the sofa for safe keeping ha ha and while I was cooking she climbed on the arm of the sofa, stretched really big and got him and two books. When I came back there was FM scalped, minus his brain which came out through the hole in his head when she chewed his ear off. He's not laughing anymore!:rolleyes:
