 Puppy perfect! July 15, 2008
We purchased this crate for our Flatcoat puppy. I was attracted to this crate for the double doors and the divider panel. I also liked the fact that it folded open easily. The removal tray is fantastic and great for cleaning.
Our last crate had awful corner pins that never went in correctly and once together the crate was flimsy. The Midwest Crate has been perfect for our growing, rambunctious puppy. It's very sturdy and handles his very active jumping against the doors. The only downside is the divider panel is a bit tricky to get in and out but once in, is as sturdy and the outer sides.
We're getting a second Flatcoat puppy and I'm ordering another crate for him!
 Best I ever owned July 12, 2008
This is the best dog crate I ever owned. It's easy to set up easy to expand as the dog grows older. Our new Black Lab enjoys sleeping in there and even goes in on her own at just 5 months old. Midwest Life Stages has my business for good.
Large dog crate for two Whippets June 22, 2008
We unfolded and set up the crate very easily and quickly. The instructions were clear and simple--the construction quality good. It is sturdy for our dogs, yet light enough that we can move it with minimum effort. All details of the crate precisely matched the internet description. The crate fully met our expectations.
Also, as an added bonus, the dogs love it and its roominess. During the day, we keep an "open-door" policy, and they rest in it at their leisure.
Thank you for good service!
Great Crate, my dog loves it May 30, 2008

This is an upgrade from an "Intermediate" size plastic kennel that I used for my black lab. He outgrew the old one, and I just couldn't bear the thought of having to close the door on him in it when we travelled, so I had to buy a new one. This one is very roomy, and after a few days, I've found him going to it to lay in it on his own. Dare I say he looks even cuter curled up in this one?
This crate folds flat to about 2.5-3" thick and makes for easy transportation. Because it is metal, it is a little heavy. I had to carry it down 3 flights of stairs at a hotel last week, and it wasn't fun, but it was manageable.
A little tip: if you're upgrading from a plastic kennel like I did, the metal ones are completely rectangular which means that even if you got the same measurements, it would actually be a little bigger for the dog. I probably would have been just fine with one size smaller. I'm not exchanging though -- I like that my dog has plenty of room if we need to leave him alone for a few hours some day on the road.
On a side note, the box was torn pretty badly. The FedEx driver let me look at it before signing, and the crate itself was fine. Just mentioning this so that people keep an eye out in case there is actually some damage in shipment.
Midwest 1642DD Life-Stages Folding Double-Door Metal Dog Crate, Large May 14, 2008
We have a new Labrador Retriever puppy, now 10 weeks old.
They grow FAST and LARGE!
This crate is an additional one to a similar one purchased a number of years ago. This one is an improvement in several ways...
2 Doors comes in handy for where you are to place the crate.
Wheels to help move it around.
Removable/movable divider for puppy as it grows. Why do you need this feature? Because, crate training is the way to go with a dog. A dog uses it as his "den" for your sake as well as his and is great when PROPERLY applied. A dog usually will not soil his "den" area. If too large, as when a puppy, you divide it off into a smaller space for that reason and adjust its placement as the puppy grows. Otherwise, the tendency of the pup is to sleep in one end and soil the other end.
(Read all about this training method in a good dog care guide.)
Collapses for easy storage and transport. Finish is a black enamel paint that is easy to clean.
GREAT purchase!
Only downside on all crates I have found, is that I have to replace the liner tray in the bottom eventually, and THAT replacement seems to cost about as much as an entire new crate! :(
As for this purchase, I feel I got a good deal after browsing the internet and considering the gas prices to go in search of one in my area.
