Well technically the crate should be large enough for the pup/dog to be able to stand up turn around and laydown, no bigger as it will use one end to sleep in and another to use as the "potty" place which can cause some issues with housebreaking.... The PROS about having a larger sized one that will fit the dog when its older with dividers to make it smaller for now is that your not going to have to keep buying a new crate as soon as he out grows the smaller one but if money is not the issue than by all means get one that is appropriate for his/her size and upgrade when needed
