Crate Size

Question
I have an 8 week female lab.  I don't know what size of crate to buy her.  Should I purchase an 50-70lbs crate?  I saw one at a pet store for that size with a divider which was what they recommended.  I need your help? Thanks

Answer
Hi Eddie,

I'm based out of India and here we don't keep dogs in Crates. I've never brought up a lab in a crate. Labs hate confined spaces. I will recommend a nice soft rug that he can sleep on. Don't ever leash your lab unless absolutely necessary. Else he will look for opportunities to run away whenever he gets a chance.

To answer your question - I cannot recommend a crate size. My vote is to the Rug.

Best,
Sam
