Default Crate size.

So was in the pet store today picking up some things for when Nitro comes home and we got looking at the crates. I know about crate training etc, I'm just wondering what size you guys bought? I'd like to avoid buying multiple ones as he grows so we'll be blocking it off from the back to limit the space but height wise, what do you use/recommend?

All the manufacturers I've seen recommend a 24" for Bostons. Thats what I got Bogie and it works great. Keep in mind you want to limit room so they can't poop and still have a place to lay. I bought one from "Tractor Supply" yesterday for Mr. Snubs. Good price $37 and the pads were only $20. Nice pads cheaper than anyplace I've found. If you have a pup be sure to get one with a divider so you can adjust it as the puppy grows. The ones at wal-mart did not have the divider.

LOL this is funny because diesel is sooooo spoiled I had the second to largest crate you can buy, but Diesel is long and he likes to stretch out.... a lot... and the crate was too short for him to stretch completely, so I bought him the biggest crate you can buy. You know, the ones that the bull mastiffs get.... yeah that one... but he was already potty trained for a long time, so he doesn't poo in there unless he's just sick. otherwise it's filled up with pillows.....

We got a 24" and he grew out of it. We now have a 30" and he has room to stretch out. Just make sure there is a divider.
