Debating if this is the right forums or not...
I have a German Shepherd puppy and she is now 3 months old. She's my 4th GSD that I've owned, but only one living here (the other's have long since passed).
With that said, I would like a dog door for my sliding glass patio door that I can easily walk through. Here's the problem.
I believe that the Extra Large dog doors I see online are about 10 inches across for the dog entry. I have a feeling my GSD will be wider than 10 inches across. I've tried to google this information with no luck. The extra large dog door has plenty of room to go in and out of the door.
However, the next size up is 15 inches across for the dog entry. I am fine with that, except it takes up more than half the entry way. What I am look for is a recommendation on something in between or a solution for a dog door where I can get through the door, but also big enough for my German Shepherd.
FYI, I've googled this to death, but if someone has say... a dog door that is 12 inches across for the dog and under 77 and 5/8 inches tall (it's considered a shorty on home depots site), I'll buy you a beer. If anyone can provide how wide across their dog is that would be very helpful as well!
