I think x-pens are great and I have used them for years. You do have to use some caution in selecting a x-pen. I feel the one posted by GurleyGirl in post 5 is the safest. Most of my dogs are not climbers or jumpers but every now and then I will get a pup that learns how to climb out of the wire x-pens and this can be dangerous. My Gracie is a climber and she can even climb out of the tall x-pens. Once she was climbing out of one and she hung her leg up in the wire. Luckily she did not break anything but she sprang her leg pretty bad. So which ever one you choose, just watch them closely and if you see a pup starting to climb out of a pen then it might be time to find a different type pen or put a lid on the x-pen. |
