Kennel Aire Crate

Basenji Talk
  • 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.

    -Nicole

  • I think the car size is a 144 or 145 - which equates to about a 200 wire crate in other brands.

    BTW, good luck finding one :D:D - they don't make the Commander anymore and IF they show up on ebay, they usually go $150+ and don't have bottom pan.

  • Ebay was my plan I was expecting to pay about $150, but I guess I need to modify that idea?

    @Gabriel: I have a small travel type crate that I put Noel in while we are away from home and at night. she is 14 weeks. She is really getting to big for this. What types of crates do you keep your B's in? I am looking at a medium size cage type kennel. 30L x 19W x 21H inches I want to be sure she has plenty of room to lay down in it. What is your advice? i got a crate big enough 4 a large dog. like a lab or something simular. I had 2 get the travel crate because in a wire crate she would pull things into the crate and eat it. comforters rugs you name it. She even ate her bed. fluff everywhere.

    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.

    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.
