There have been lots of posts on safety for dogs in cars lately with great advice and showing different types available. After reading them I decided I didnt want to lug my 24" crate about as in the early mths there are lots of vet appointments and then training classes. For my needs the vari-kennel type appeals to me - light, easy to clean and the one I brought home fits my car nicely. Its about the same size as a large soft sided sherpia one many of you mentioned for plane travel.
But when I looked up a cavs height to withers, its says 12-14 " so how do your cavs fit a 12" height? It the idea that they must remain lying and cant get up to turn around?
The rest of my family really wants me to go up a size to the 24 long, 16 wide and 16 tall so from 6mths up they can still stand up and turn around. But I think getting one that big defeats the purpose, as I might as well just lug the 24 inch crate which is a similar size - just heavier!
I guess its not a diaster if it doesnt fit a full grown cav as I would prefer to eventually use a seatbelt harness for short trips and would want to bring the crate for longer trips anyways. But I would like it to fit till she is behaved in the back seat by herself which may take a yr. So how long will the 22 long, 14 wide and 12 tall one fit approximately for?
