I have used wire for about 40 years. A good quality wire is safe. Obviously if you have a strong dog who is determined to break out, you may need to go to the uber expensive crates that are almost solid metal. Few dogs need those. As Pat said, no top means no dog. They laugh at 6 feet, much less 40 inches. They can jump or climb easily. Plastic ones are more easily chewed unless the solid ones... which block view and air.
Neutered dogs and lure or racing competition
-
Are you allowed to compete (not just train) in racing or lure course with a neutered dog or spayed bitch ?
In France you are not suppose to, but what about the USA, Finland, Australia, Sweden, Norway, Danemark…...? -
Yes, absolutely in the US. It is soo much easier..the boys are less likely to follow the girls, and since the girls can't run with they are in season, you can race any time of year.
-
Yeh, they can be neutered and allowed to course in the UK too. We also have the same rule about no btiches in season (which is perfectly sensible)
-
lucky you!
