crate size for 2 boxers?
To remove this ad please Register What size crate would you recommended for 2 boxers (both in the same crate ,both males and 6 months old but I want to size the crate for when they are full grown.
they will probably be in the crate at night and when we are gone and they are inside. |

We only have one, but I can't imagine crating them together when you're gone. What if they got in a fight?

I would not put 2 in the same crate either .
Right now they are puppies but when they get older and are trying to determine who is dominant you may end up with some fights . If they are crated together either one will not be able to get away from the other if a fight does occur . They will not have the flight option and will only have the fight/defense option . Imagine what could happen if a fight breaks out when you are not home and both boys are in the same crate . And you do not want them to end up too dependant on each other . They both need seperate time . a 36 inch crate is the size to get for one adult boxer .

Aside from all the above reasons--it would have to be a crate sized for a St Bernard!

yeah one crate sounds like a bad idea to me.. it might be ok for the moment but within a month or two as the mature you i could have some problems.... we have the largest crate you can get for just Bo who isnt even full grown, and i couldnt imagine putting two full grown dogs in it, they just wouldnt fit... but to large sized crates would be good.

i was planning on individual crates but saw several pics on here of 2 boxers in one crate so I figured i would ask about the size. I figured if it was a bad idea I would hear about it lol

I have had mine squeeze into tha same crate many times and while I am here it is not a big deal . I just don't let them stay together when we are not home .
