We are going to be getting an Australian Shepherd Puppy in the next couple of months and are looking to find a dog crate- pref. used- that is on the cheaper side. Does anyone have any or anything that they are selling, reduced price?

Answer
Try http://www.craigslist.com - usually there are people on there selling unneeded and even new crates for reasonable prices.

You can also try browsing your local newspaper in the classifieds, surely one day you'll come across someone selling an inexpensive crate.

Where would you suggest is a good place to get a dog crate?

I know you can go to Petsmart and similar stores. They just seem a bit pricey to me. I have a full grown border collie mix. I normally do not crate her but eventually we will be going to some competitions where she will need to be in a crate for a while.

She weighs about 48 pounds.

Also any suggestions on how to buy the correct size, any recommended brands, and other buying tips would be be appreciated.

Answer
Are you looking for an airline crate or a wire crate or a soft-sided crate? Are you looking for a collapsable crate or is that not important to you?

Craigslist is a good place to start looking, and I have also had good luck at garage sales and thrift stores sometimes. Keep your eyes open, know what you want, and know what you are willing to pay. The size you need is based on her height and length, not her weight. Give her 6" of headroom and at least 6" of extra length where length is measured from butt to front paws when she is laying down.
