Kennels for Great Pyrs
Hello,
We have 2 Great Pyrs puppies (4 months old). What is the minimum height for their kennels ? Is 31" or 32" enough ? Where to get second hand Vari Kennel for them ? Thanks Andre |

Anything lighter and it may not stand up to a big dog. VarKennels that large are not easy to find - so called Giant or X-Large. For snow dogs, I like the greater ventilation that the metal crates allow. Linda H., lurking for a while Saint Bernards |

So add a rather large head and you get...36" ? Andre |

Linda H., lurking for a while Saint Bernards My wife and I are trying to stay away from metal cages and would prefer, if at all possible, Vari Kennel type of enclosures for them. But where to find them and how big should they be ? The previous dogs we had were shelties so we are getting used to a giant breed; quite a jump ! Andre |

Andre In my experience, the lerger breeds I've known have actually been more comfortable in wire crates (when they were needed) than in the plastic crates. I would err on the side of the largest crate available for a dog that size. Depends on if its for housetraining, or mostly for travel though. |
