I love this wonderful crate as a doggie home away from home or as a portable enclosure around home!  It is attractive, easy to handle and versatile in the "privacy" and ventilation options. Our Toy Rat Terrier Tina knows it as her "camper", and becomes excited at the mention!  In it, she is happy and companionable for hours in a corner of our garden shed or nearby, outdoors, while I do yard work.  I am exceptionally pleased with this crate ~ no cons whatever!
