About
A standard wire enclosure designed to provide medium-sized dogs with a secure indoor resting area or travel space.
Crates vary widely in size, starting around 18 inches (0.46 m) for toy breeds and reaching up to 54 inches (1.37 m) for giant dogs like Great Danes. This 36-inch (0.91 m) model typically accommodates dogs weighing up to 70 pounds (32 kg), such as Bulldogs or Australian Shepherds. Proper sizing allows an adult dog to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably without providing enough extra room to soil one corner.
From Wikipedia
A dog crate, dog cage, or kennel is a metal, wire, plastic, or fabric enclosure with a door in which a dog may be kept for security or transportation. Dog crates are designed to replicate a dog's natural den and as such can provide them with a place of refuge at home or when traveling to new surroundings.
