| If you go bigger, you'll never have to worry about having to buy another one in case she does outgrow it. Most crates come with a divider so you can gradually increase the size that she stays in as she grows (it's better to start in a smaller space when you're housebreaking). Plus, with the bigger crate, when she's older, she can stretch out and get nice and comfortable. It's not so much bigger that it'll take up a heck of a lot more space in your house, either. |
Miss Marley is 65 pounds. She has four crates of various sizes. She eats in a vari kennel that is probably 36"; sleeps in one a little longer; has a 42" travel soft crate in the car and a folding 36" wire crate. It depends on the use and the time to be spent. As you could guess she is our only girl - girls can be spoiled  |
I personally would get the 42" long one (I guess in your case, the 40" one) and just use a divider which many come with until your dog gets bigger  My female is 60lbs and that would be perfect for her. |
I'd go with the biggest you have room for... lol... my boy Willy has outgrown the biggest crates and I have no idea what to do now LOL He's bigger than a lot of great danes I've seen, his mom is 65 lbs and his dad about 85, who would have thought?! He's only a year old so still has growing to do  Girls are almost always smaller though so I'd guess more towards the dam's side. |
| Go as large as you can, or be prepared to rebuy later. You never know how big they'll grow. When we adopted a sixty pound male sheepie online six weeks ago I figured no problem. Our seventy five pound one fits into a large crate and the extra large we also have is huge for him. We'd only seen pictures of Rudy, so our sense of scale was off. He needed the giant model. He's fifteen pounds LIGHTER than our other one, and eight or nine inches TALLER. I nearly died when the airline quote came in for flying that size. Sure enough, when he arrived, he really needed the giant size (which we call the pony starter home and is actually bigger than the powder room in our house). So you never know. Go bigger if you can and only buy once. 48"l x 32"w x 35"h (official size for our sixty pound sheepie...who could have ever guessed?) And yes, aside from the colour and furriness he could completely and totally pass for Gumby. Our Rudy is about a year old, and may not be completely done growing yet. |
| ^^^^^^ Oh that is so funny. Morgan has a 48" crate, believe me we could have two fo them stacked in Beowulf's crate |
| My Asterisk's mother was 60lbs and her father was 92lbs. She will be two in May and when she was last weighed is 75lbs. She is slender, but tall. She's 26 inches at the shoulder. I also got the largest crate I could. It came with a divider and as she grew I adjusted it till I no longer needed it. |
| 42" We use a 48" here. Jack is a big boy. |
