I used a cheap dog crate from Wal-Mart, an open wire design. It has a door in one long side and a second door in the short side and came with a partition to either make it smaller or to split into 2 parts. I've never used the partition at all--I just keep a soft blanket or pillow in there for Lucas. Its about 2 ft long and 18 inches wide (approx--I'm not good with measurements). It's roomy enough for a yorkie to move around in but small enough that they're contained. And I got my furbaby when he was a little over a year old from a breeder who decided that he didn't "need" him. (I don't know what his living conditions were like before I got him. For all I know, he lived in a cage.) At any rate, he now feels safe and comfortable in the cage and goes in voluntarily to sleep and doesn't fuss if I pop him in when we have company.
Before I got my yorkie, I kept a puppy in it--that puppy was part Rottie and part lab so was a large puppy! And he was comfortable in it as well (I got him when he was 6 weeks old and used it until he outgrew it--he still occassionally tries to get in).
