Thanks to Arlene, who belongs to the Baggage Agility Yahoo Group, here’s a tip. Bed Bath & Beyond has some inexpensive soft-sided crates for just $20. Sadly, they are kind of small, so it won’t work for Lilly, but if you have a smallish dog, check it out.
The domed crates measure 20″ H x 18″ W x 23 1/2″ D. The carrying bag measures 19″ x 24″. It looks like they come in blue and burgundy and like they only come in one size.
I didn’t know how small they were before I ran to my local store, but it had probably 25 of them on the shelf. I don’t know how long they’ll be in stock.
I’ve been looking for something inexpensive I can use. I just can’t justify buying a really nice trial crate since our competitive career is non-existent. But, since we’ll be doing some indoor agility work at Gigi’s new indoor place, if things go well, I thought it might be nice to have one that Lilly can rest in if she gets too stressed out.
So, if you know of any good sources, please post a comment. I’m guessing that a medium-sized one would work. Lilly is 19.5 inches at the shoulder and about 33 inches from tip of her nose to the base of her tail.
