| Metal or Canvas Xpen? What type of xpen do you use with your yorkies? I read yesterday about baby playpens and have been thinking about getting my two (soon three) an xpen. Any experiences with metal or soft sided is appreciate!

| I've used metal for years, but those little boys sure do make them ugly. I've been thinking of going to the Canvas, the ones with the tops on them for pups. I have a few soft crates and they are so easy to keep clean, just take them out side hose them down, then scrub them with a scrub brush and soap and water and hose down again.

| I havent figured it out yet, I am liking the looks of the soft sided ones, but the wire ones seem so practical- like they wouldnt scratch through. Any more experiences with either?

| I have the metal Xpen Meagan and think it's wonderful, I moved it to another room recently and changed the shape a little bit, making it a bit more oblong rather then square, Bailey sleeps in it, and I keep him in the pen when I'm not home, great thing to have!

| Not sure where I will take it, but I thought it would be nice to use for going to friends homes with unfenced yards and camping, and just at home for the pup. Thanks.

SeaBreeze Petite Pens Pricing I have a smaller one that I use for travel, it folds up and fits in my suitcase. Use it in hotel rooms and show sites. I've had mine for about 8 years and looks brand new. All I use to clean it with is a Clorox wipe.
