Well first off I would not put an escape artisit in a plastic crate. Get a fold down metal one, a good one.The way those plasic ones have the doors set up make them easier to get the pins out of the door latch. A good metal one will have 2 sliding latches. THEN i would also put 2 metal snaps on for good measure to hold the door closed. I have some of these crates and they are good http://www.midwesthomes4pets.com/category/default.aspx?maincatid=1&subcat=1&submenu=0&catid=2 Rebecca Little Peakes Brook German Shepherds http://sites.centralpets.com/mammals/peakesbrookgsd/index.html ----- Original Message ----- From: "fran rood" <hylock200@xxxxxxxxx> To: <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 1:14 PM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] you would not want to ship this dog > http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9K3ZK5mcEI&feature=channel_page > can anyone out there give my daughter any ideas on how to keep her > in???This was locked like it was supposed to be and she still gets out... > Fran > > > > > ============================================================================ > POST is Copyrighted 2008.
