I'm debating on getting one for agility trials. Koji is reactive and tends to tip over the pen I bought him. Is this a specific brand? Or just a general one? Figured I'd try ebay too.

Just a word of caution they are not very strong. The mesh will tear if they paw or bounce against it. To use it at a show your dog should respect the boundies of the crate and not touch it or you could find your dog suddenly loose. Jazz ripped out of one of mine quite easily and shockly fast.
I don't use a soft sided kennels for Diva at shows as I don't fully trust her yet but it works well at practice.

Thanks for the heads up. I'd rather have something that'll survive paw bouncing. Obviously I am working on his reactions, but I know it won't get fixed overnight. The pen is strong, except that he can knock it over and the bottom really isn't attached. That part I don't trust. Sigh. Thanks.

I am using mine as learning tool- Che does gets pawsy at times and can easily tip it over when he leans on the side.
Well I am hoping I don't have problems with either one of the boys with these.They will only be used for travel.
Trapp's response to being inside of it,has been kinda funny,as he has not been in a crate in a very long time.Especially if he is closed in.He whined,when I put him in.But nothing that was to bothersome.
Jasper really has no issues.Other than car sickness,which I will deal with by putting something over the liner.He did not whine.Was quite content,but then again he was in it here in the house.
Both of them have been wearing car harness's,so this will be a differant thing for both of them.Plan to give them many trial rides before we go to the beach next month.

My shelties are generally good about the soft sided crates but Diva gets really excited if she thinks another dog is doing something she wants to do. Hence why I don't trust her.
Funny story, last night I stopped at Walgreens on the way home to get a few things. The all dogs were in crates Ember in the wire and Diva and justice in the large soft sided one. I come on of the store and pass several people who are just laughing their heads off. Hum I look towards my van On Justice is standing with his feet on the driver side window looking for all the world like defender od the universe and Diva is laying on the dash watcing the world ago by. Seems I forgot to clip the zipper and Diva opened it to see where I went.
