Question about Crate Size - YorkieTalk.com Forums

We might possibly be getting a yorkie soon. The breeder is estimating that the male is going to get between 8-10 pounds. We forgot to ask her this, so I thought I might get your opinions. What size crate do you think we should get? I know that the puppy is small now (approximately 2 pounds), but if it gets 8-10, I'm not sure what size to get.

Do you think I should get a medium sized one now, or get a small one now since the puppy will be so small, and then get a larger one once he gets bigger?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks all!

I got one at petsmart that has a divider panel. Basically you can control the size of the part your baby sleeps in moving it to make it bigger as she grows.
