I got a good deal
I'm not sure if you have them where you live, but I got a great deal at Tractor Supply. The brand was Remington and I got the second to largest one for only 59$

Re: Try there
The price you quoted is a bargain for sure. They start out about 30 bucks higher here for the larger sizes. I think the one we settled on was right around a 100 bucks.CrazyDogLady said:

I have one of each. The advantage to the plastic style is they are great for transport purposes.

I actually got Dylan a large wire folding crate (Life Stages or something like that) on ebay. It was brand new and cost me like $50 with shipping. Maybe have a look there???
ETA: You're right about the divider. Definitely easier to grow with your pup that way. I haven't seen a plastic crate with a divider but that doesn't mean there isn't one out there somewhere.

That is a hella good deal. We got our plastic Vari-Kennel on craigslist for 35 bucks in like new condition..It's an XL...I see both wire and plastic side on there all the time quite reasonably priced. One needs to be careful to check condition and sanitize if you go this routeforever_pit said:

Re: model
I would recommend a wire cage because of your requirement of a divider. I have not come accross a plastic crate with that provision, yet. I myself prefer the hard plastic crates I have several of various sizes, I find them at yard sales and buy them from my local shelter for cheap. I use the plastic crates exclusively and have never had any anxiety issues crop up in any of my dogs.zsarduy said:

Re: model
I've never met a dog that developed anxieties as a result of the plastic crates. In fact, I've found that my dogs prefer that I cover the wire cages so that it's more den like, but according to what you're saying that would cause anxiety too because the dog can't see everything that is going on.
Personally, I tend to think that a dog that develops anxieties that easily has some underlying nerve issues that should be addressed.
