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?

    @sanjibasenji - Well it would depend on where you stop to eat and of course the weather. It it is hot or cold out that is not comfortable for your Basenji. I prefer to keep an eye on the in the car/suv/RV. All depends on when you stop and the location.... Mine have always been crated when traveling...

    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

    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!!

    I put Tayda and Lenny in a kennel in the backseat…. they seem to be pretty happy with it. They wouldn't sit still in a carseat.... also helps with the hair all over the seat issue.
