Hoping to fly my dog from Tampa to Dallas- help?

:)

I have never flown with my dog before, but plan on doing so in the next few weeks. I am flying from Tampa to Dallas, and have a Shiba Inu / Chow mix that weighs about 55-60 lbs. I was planning on finding a crate that fits under a window seat for Southwest Airlines, which is 19"L x 14"W x 8.25"H.
What I am wondering is, will a dog of her weight fit in a crate of that size? She's a medium sized dog and can be easily picked up, but am worried that I will buy the crate and then find out she does not fit. HELP!

Answer
a 55 lb dog will not be allowed in the cabin, only in cargo. I believe the weight limit for in cabin is like 15 maybe 20 pounds, if that.

no crate that a dog that size could fit in will ever fit under a seat. any animal must be able to stand up and turn around completely. the smallest pet carriers are the ones that fit. nothing larger.

we live in tampa bay area in pasco county and im looking for a small breed dog for my 2yr old daughter and were both afraid of big dogs lol im not in good health to take in a big dog right now but a small breed would be perfect for us
ok people im not that bad in my health ive had a dog before plus my husband is the one really wanting the dog lol he and our daughter get along so well with the dogs at my mothers house that i just want to see them play in the yard all the time you know the white picket fence thing.when hes at work i cant walk a big dog. A smaller dog wouldnt pull me around the yard lol and my daughter is alot more grown up for her age. I would prefer a puppy to grow with her then an older dog who may not be used to kids.
wow most of you all are ignorant btw

Answer
No dogs are 100% cost free. Even if you (by chance) find a stray creeping towards your home you will still have to pay for its vaccinations, vet check up, crate, food, future health exams... etc. and if you're worried about the cost than you'll be worried even more when your daughter may accidently hurt the "small breed". Small dogs (not counting for pugs, boston terriers which are thicker bones) are fragile and can easily get injured by children if they are not "super careful" or sometimes they will get snippy as backlash due to the rough handling.
