Wire Crates and Cages	Kennel Club Approved Wire Crates	Soft Sided Crates	Travel Crates

Wire crates have been around for many, many years, and are a proven aid to dog training and safety.
In the wild, dogs always make a den, and animal behaviourists agree that the wire crate fulfills this need. It gives your dog a "home" of its own, which it will love.
Sometimes it is said that cages are cruel. This is absolutely NOT the case - a properly trained dog loves its crate, and appreciated the sense of security it brings. Read any training manual!
If it is possible, it is better to introduce your dog to the cage as soon as possible - preferably as a puppy on the way home from the breeder!
Crate training is covered in more detail on our Training page (towards the bottom of the page).

Just Love Dogs have selected three types of wire crate, with three basic price levels.

The Economy range - the Croft Alpine - which we have chosen is very popular, and has the great advantage of being available in a choice of three colours :- Black, Pink, or Blue.
These crates  are a lightweight two door dog crate giving exceptional value for money. 
The range is a proven best-seller, gaining its popularity by giving excellent quality at a low price. Great value.
Lightweight in structure, Alpine crates include a lighter plastic base tray and are manufactured from wires of a smaller diameter than the alternative crate designs.
All Alpine crates are finished in an attractive epoxy coating and fold flat when not in use.
If your dog is likely to get restless, then the Alpine may not be for you, but if you have a crate trained dog who readily accepts a crate as his home, then the very low price of the Alpine range MUST be as attractive as the crate itself.

The Standard range - the Showman foldaways- are the crates for which Croft originally became famous.
They are coated in a gold-coloured zinc plate and are manufactured from 3mm dia. wire with a 3ins x 1 ins spacing. They are available with an inclusive steel tray.
We have chosen the two door crate as offering great value and versatility.
All sizes fold flat when not in use.
Generally heavier in construction than the Alpine, these crates are the favourite of top breeders!

The ‘Designer’ range. Crufts approved crates  all have TWO DOORS as standard and fold flat when not in use.
They are lighter in weight than the Showman crate, primarily because they have a plastic base tray, rather than the steel tray in the Showman - so it does depend in whether your dog is likely to chew the tray as to which is best for you.
These cages are Kennel Club approved, and all carry the impressive Crufts Dog show logo on each door.
The wire used is heavier than the Showman, but the spacing is larger.
All Crufts cages are finished in a bright silver coloured zinc coating.
