Can it fit in medium crate? My cousin is moving to my town soon enough and he thinking about to bring his dog, gsd puppy age 10 months. He asked me to buy for him a crate as where he's living now have no petshop or even vet ! Do you guys think medium crate is OK for the pup?
Thanks guys. Greatly appreciate your help.
Answer
If the crate is going to be used as a permanent bed or somewhere to put the pup when its left alone then a German shepherd will need a large or possibly Extra large one depending on its size when fully mature.
Gsd`s weight and body size vary enormously from around 30kg right up to 60kg although 40kg is the average. Don`t waste money on a medium size crate though. Also get one with a door at one end of the crate and a door in one long side so the crate can fit in different locations of a room if necessary. Hope this helps.

What's a good medium sized dog breed for a teenager?

My parents are, finally, letting me get my own dog.
I'd preferably want a fluffy dog. c:
Price doesn't matter, I'm paying for it with my own money.
I'm very well aware of the price of a dog over its lifetime, but thank you.

What good for one person is NOT neccessarily good for another. So research carefully. I would recommend a Keeshound or Swedish Vallhund or American Eskimo, Cocker Spaniel, shetland sheepdog, Standard Schanuzer for an active teenage or Dachshund for a lazier teenager, I stay away from the other herding breeds such as Border Collie, Komondor, and Puli, there incrediable beautiful breeds, but there intelligent nature is a double edge sword, as they can proove to be very stubburn, but require experience owners .
Remember puppies cannot be left alone anymore then 2hours. They need extensive socialisation, attention and obedience trainning to ensure they become well developed adults.
Medium dog breeds 25 to 50 pounds
American Eskimo Dog 6-40lbs
American Water Spaniel 25-45lbs

If Border Collies are so smart, then why aren't they easy to train?
If you are not a precise sort of trainer (most people aren't), then trying to train an intelligent Border Collie can be a frustrating task. Yes, they can pick up commands on two or three tries but they are also very perceptive and are constantly thinking. If, in teaching your dog to sit, you raise your right hand and say "Sit", the dog may pick that up the first time through. However, if the next time you repeat the command, you raise your arm at a different angle and use a slightly lower tone of voice or a different pace, a Border Collie will often pick up the subtle distinction and think that you are using an entirely new command. Border Collies have a difficult time learning to generalize, basically because it takes a dog that is less "critical" to be able to follow a sloppy command. Training a Border Collie can be like trying to teach a nerdy child that likes to overanalyze everything - it can be frustrating and an exhaustive exercise in patience.
What are the other problems with owning a smart dog?
Intelligence in dogs is a double-edged sword. Yes, Border Collies can learn lots of tricks and can have quite a large vocabulary but they also can learn lots of bad things too. Having a smart dog means waging a continual intellectual war with your dog, trying to outsmart them as they figure out each progressive intellectual step you take. Trying to confine a Border Collie can be an exercise in futility. Just when you put in a gate, they figure out how to get over (under) it. When you put in a door, they figure out how to push it open. You put in a latch and they figure out how to turn doorknobs. Some owners even swear that their Border Collies can pick combination locks - though their paws make it hard to turn the dial. If you do not enjoy engaging in intellectual warfare, especially with a non-human, a less "perceptive" and somewhat "denser" breed may be in order.
