good morning all,
I will soon (within a year) be a first time pup raiser. Honestly, I'm not in this for the cute puppy phase, rather for the awesome dog she will become. However I realize since I've only adopted older rescues that i;'m lacking certain equipment needed to successfully raise a pup.
What is the best kind of x pen to use? Should I get one heavy duty metal one (I like the panelized drop pin design for ease of storage) and a lighter one to take when we travel?
I plan on building a small chain link enclosure within my fenced yard for times when I can't supervise her outside (doing yard work, cleaning up, frisbee/ball/tug with other dog, cooking on grill etc.) but I'm kind of clueless one the portable x pens.
I am currently compiling a list of things to purchase long before pup arrives here, as well as collecting some things already. Any advice on the matter would be appreciated.
