My eight-month-old puppy has very long legs and outgrew her plastic crate. I only wanted to buy one more crate and researched all the available options. The Fable crate, while expensive, looked like the best option. It has proved to be a great choice: solid, excellent workmanship and a clean, modern design. The door slips up and is hidden away (like a garage door), which is a big plus. My pup has room to grow and enjoys sleeping in her new den. Be aware that it comes in a very heavy package and you will need two people to put it together (which is easy).
