How to keep my Houdini German shepherd in a crate or kennel?

Well we went out of town so she flipped her cage on it's side and got out of the other side that was on top. She has figured out how to kick in the back and walk over it and get out. She can get things around her cage and eat it. She actually really loves her crate, she is in there most of the day, but she doesn't like being locked in there when we leave sometimes, so hers is pretty messed up. This is frequent, just enough to have ruined her cage. Can you suggest a durable cage/kennel for large dogs for indoor use?
Well you should assume, as it makes an ass out of YOU. We have a HUGE back yard, and a 9 foot tall fence, which she can climb over and escapre. Did the houdini part clue you in at all? I was thinking of those kennels with the hard plastic walls or whatever with the "windows" in the? Her cage is shot to hell right now.

The Remington Pet Carrier is really good. I have an XL one. My dog use to flip it over when he was being crate trained, but he could never get out of it. He finally figured out that it was useless and is now very well behaved.

New puppy, supplies, names, breeds help!?

who cares

I will be getting a new puppy in August but I was thinking I would go ahead and buy some things. I wanted help on what I should buy BEFORE I get him and than wait I should wait to get until after he is already here.
I would also like any suggestions on breeds if you have any, right now I am probably going to get a black lab but want other options.
Temperament is a big one as we are going to have the dog trained to be a service dog for me (Yes, I am disabled and we have done plenty of research and know everything we need to about this.)
We want the dog to be active, smart, and stay by my side and listen to me. I know when I pick out the dog I will need to look for this myself.
It needs to be a short haired dog please! I want a hunting/cattle dog because that is what I have grown up with and we have experience with them, such breeds as Blue Lacy, Catahoula, and Blue Heeler. But I do not believe any of those breeds would be good for a service dog, but what is your opinion on that?
Any other breeds you would like to recommend me? One that will be easy to get in Texas and has to be medium-large in size but I really do not want it bigger than the size of a full grown lab.

Another thing I would like help with would be names. I am going for names in the country/western theme, and hunting type names. I have a dog named Ranger so I do not want the names to clash too much. Any recommendations? And which do you think would be best out of the ones I have chosen.

Ruger
Remi or Remy (Remington)
Chevy
Stetson
Diesel
Wrangler
Cinch
Gunner
Gannon
Cabela
Trigger
Bowen
Bronc
Skeeter
Cooper

Thanks for your help and no rude answers please.

Answer
I think the Labrador Retriever is a great service dog. Many people who are blind or have physical disabilities use Labs. They are gentle, patient, eager to please, smart, & easily trained. I've never seen or heard of an aggressive Lab. You'll need puppy food-I like Hills Science Diet, a crate for crate training and house breaking, chew toys, squeaky toys, balls, brush, and ask your vet about ear cleaning supplies-they are prone to ear infections if not regularly cleaned because of the floppy ears. I like the names Remi and Gunner. I hope you have a lot of good years with your new puppy.
