We've reserved a rescue puppy who'll be coming to us once they're sure she's clear of any nasties she may have picked up in the pound.
We haven't had a dog since before children, and she was an old lady dog when we got her. She didn't have a crate (I don't think people went in for that in those days) and just had a dog bed that she ignored in favour of the sofa
Before I go out and buy a crate, has anyone any experience of having a dog from puppydom without? Any arguments for and against? Although we have four fairly young children, we have a few nooks and crannies in the house that I can imagine a dog bed would fit into, and this would become the dog's space, for children to keep well clear of.
Thank you!
