Default RE: Portable kennel or containment system

If you're looking for a portable fence system, look at an x-pen. You can find them in most any pet supply mail order place.

Basically, they are a set of 8 (I think) 24" wide by whatever height you want rigid wire panels hinged together like an accordian. When folded up they form a stack 24" x height x about 3" thick. You can put as many x-pens together as you want (or can afford!) to any shape you want. Takes just a minute or two to set up.

My wife and I use them when we travel to contain our "6-pack" of Cavaliers; and when when we have litters, an x-pen sits on a piece of sheet vinyl in the house. They work very slick! Down side is that they are kind of expensive; for our 30" high sections I think we pay about $70 (but check that price in the catalog, I'm going by memory). Our 2 x-pens together make a circle of maybe 10' -12'.

If you are in an area that has a dog show coming up, you can see them in use a lot. There may also be vendors selling them at the show, but be aware of what the catalog places are selling them for before buying one at a show.
