Gracie is 6 pounds and shes 6 months old. She hasnt grown much in the last month. I think you should be fine. If you are using this crate for bedtime, naptime, and short away periods I think it would work fine. Most times they say a dog needs just enough room to lay, turn around and stand. I have a hard time with that only because I wouldnt like to be cramped in a spot that only allows me to stand and turn in a circle I cant imagine a dog being comfortable. So yes 22" should be plenty of room I think my neighbors Yorkie is about 11" I just made a basketball jersey for him and his length was 11" and he's 5 1/2 pounds. |
