This is what I have for Tia (in the small version - of course) -- I like it because she can see through the top. I keep in on the floor by my bed and if she gets worried in the middle of the night, I can look at her and she's okay because she can see me -- if she keeps crying after she has seen me I know she needs to go potty

We bought this same crate for Toto ... goes so well with my wicker bedroom furniture!!

Also is a great crate ... we placed it on a wicker chest next to our bed with a nightlight next to it and Toto slept like a baby ... she could see us and we could see her.

We saw that and want to get it too! But my question is - for a puppy, is it a chewing hazard at all? Should I wait until she's older for that one?

It matches my bedroom perfectly!

I probably should "knock on wood" ... but Toto has never chewed anything that didn't belong to her [with the exception of anything paper!

] She began sleeping in this particular crate at about the age of 16 weeks ... never even nibbled on it! And it does look great with our bedroom furniture! Even though she no longer sleeps in it ... I now have it on the floor in a little nook and keep a wee wee pad along with fresh water in it and it's like her private little "refreshment" station! Saves her having to make a long trip to the other end of the house and her other wee wee pad during the night!!

LOL! Tia isn't a chewer SO FAR but my parents' Yorkies were never able to resist anything wicker (baskets, furniture, etc) or wicker looking. It's too early to tell yet for Tia! Maybe I'll try it out and if she does start to chew put it up until I break her of that habit! Thanks for the advice Bettye! That's one we've been looking at for awhile, one for each side of the bed

Toto could start chewing tomorrow ... with Yorkies, who knows??

But we would like to credit her being a "non chewer" with having a huge quantity or various chew things for her when we brought her home! I know this hasn't worked for some ... but we were fortunate to be with her 24/7 for several weeks and constantly watched her every move! If her lips went toward anything "unforbidden" she got a chew toy handed to her!! So far ... so good!!

Good luck!!

With all the crates you have for your Yories, do they ever get out of them themselves? Is it a design flaw in some crates?
