I for one PARTIALLY agree with Nancy - It is one thing for dogs to sleep in cages at night , and to want to go into them BUT I would never sell a puppy or dog to people who both worked all day and intended to leave the animal caged while they were gone everyday for 8-9 hours. I tried it once and ended up getting neurotic dog who was impossible to house break.
