I'm not really to fond of the wire cages, they just seem wrong to me (JMO). I would really like to hear your opinions on this. Thanks!!


24" Portable Pink Pet Dog House Soft Crate Carrier 2P - eBay (item 360124204407 end time Feb-14-09 07:47:12 PST)
It is soft sided and has mesh in it - both a really bad idea for a puppy that can get a claw caught in the mesh and can chew the material - with what could be disasterous results - To crate train and for a bed you are much better off with a wire crate ( small size ) if it seems too open - drape a towel or blanket over it but you will keep your baby safe and have better results

If you are not sure how to do the crate/bed training please PM me and i will try to help you with the new addition - How exciting for you and i wish you the best and many happy years which you will have if you start it off and train early.

The carrier you are looking at is just that - a carrier for when you want to take it places etc - not a bed or training item.
