Keeping boxer dogs in crates

[tallulah7777]

My boyfriend and I live in a large and spacious 3rd floor flat. We have thought carefully through the idea of getting a boxer puppy and have researched it. Alot of organisations do suggest training them to be comfortable in dog crates. We are aware that the dog really would need outside space, we would be leaving it indoors for a max of 5hrs per day, probably in the crate. After that we will play with it and walk it to it's hearts content. Is there anyone out there who has done this before who could tell me whether it is really feasible?

Many thanks in advance! x

note...it doesnt matter that you live in a flat, think of all the kids who live in a flat !!!!!!! what do their mums do, take them out to the park....take the poo bags though ....lol

A dog is for life ...if you had a child would you lock it in a cage ..buy a fish tank , theraputic , easy to look after .
