Is the XL crate (49.5 inches) large enough for a 150lbs Great Dane, or should I fork over the extra $50 for a 54 inch?

If I were you, I would absolutely go for the larger cage. They need a bit of room to stand up and move around ( as you know), and the extra $50 would make your "baby" so much more comfortable!

My golden needed restriction for surgery and he weighs 70#. I think I bought large which helped him to spread out. If u plan on using as a Dane gets bigger large would be better. Depends on weight too. If he weighs around 50, maybe could get by w medium.

I have a large German Shepherd mix that weighs about 70 lbs. He is pretty tall and this crate is a good fit for him. However, I would recommend checking for articles online that tell you how to measure your dog for a crate. That's what I did and it helped me find the best size for him.

I have two of these crates. My 120 lb mix and my 90lb GSD are each comfortable in theirs. Hope this helps.

I have a medium sized labrabull and she has tons of room in this create. In my opinion it would serve a full grown dog of any sort well. To stand or move around and adjust a bit. For the price this is a great option because prior to purchasing this I had went to Petco and found that their so called "XXL" was $149. And was smaller (height and width a), with only one door. This crate truly lives up to what is marketed on this site.

Dear Purple Frog(?): I would contact Precision directly before ordering, as they have a range of sizes. The crate we bought is one of the smaller ones, as we have 5-7 pound Chihuahuas. What I can confirm is that these crates are really sturdy, and have a double-latch door arrangement which is better than the iCrate/Midwest crate we ordered later, in error, though it is adequate for chihuahuas. The toll-free number on the Precision crate is: 800-397-3167. I am sure they can advise on the best size crate for your pooch. Many thanks for asking. Morgan Phenix

I just got a good size crate for the area I was placing it in, in my front room. I went by the dimensions given in the add based on the size crate you chose. My crate is 42" long. I think it's an xl crate. My 70 lb. Pit bull has plenty of room in it by himself. My 60 lb boxer and my pitbull can curl up next to each other in it as well. It's big. It's better for it to be to big of crate for your dog than to small of a crate. My dogs use mine as dog house to hangout in constantly with the door open when I'm home. Their choice. They are comfortable in it. If it was to small they would hate it, and wouldn't want to go in it easily. I just got a good size crate for the area I was placing it in, in my front room.

I think the XL should be fine, I don't know what you mean by "too much support" but I don't think that would be an issue. My 60lbs Basset Hound and my 130lbs St. Bernard/Great Dane mix can both cuddle on the bed (though mostly it's just used by my big guy).

It's 36" long and 23" wide so I consider it a little small for my 80lb dog but my 50 lb one is perfect for it. I would say a dog your size would be fine for a trip in it but day to day it's a little small. Great crate, my girl was wrecking the plastic tray beds and destroying the crate. She can't get out of this one

My Katie is only 10 pounds and I bought the smaller crate. The medium could be big enough, but not sure. You can go to the Carlson website and get a more accurate interior size details. Depends on how long your dog will be crated, and how much room you want for moving around. I wish they made a larger size. Love how these crates are so well made.

You'd probably be better off with the large just because of your Mastiff's height. There's only a few inches of room when my 55 pound, taller than most pit bull stands up in it.

I have not used this crate for a Great Dane but I do have Pyr's. I would not use it for large dogs at all. It is fine with my cavaliers, but not for large fellows/not sturdy enough to work well with them,in my opinion.

A smaller crate would work fine. My dog weighs in at 45 pounds and sometimes shares her bed with her 40 pound sister. so I would recommend a much smaller home for your pet.

Absolutely, my 48lb BC mix walks into it and sleeps in it at night by is choice. He easily got out of other crates I had that were in the $200 range. His brother is fine in the other type to a degree, he chewed all the plastic. The cage you are considering doesn't have anything for chewing. It's a great cage, I highly recommend this cage, price is high but worth it!

Absolutely. I bought it for my Dachshund who weighs 17 lbs. Dachshunds have a longer body, but he has enough room to stretch and even have a water bowl attached to the crate inside.

I have two labs, one is two years old and and about 100lbs and my other one is expected to be larger than him. They are crated while we are at work. Both of them LOVE their kennels! Most times it is difficult to get them out! I would say yes you will be perfectly fine!

I would get the largest one for your dog. I ordered the large for my miniature dachshund who is 15 lbs. She can obviously move around freely. Which is exactly what I wanted for her. I think that your dog would fit in the large, but it might be cozy. Really depends on how much room you want your dog to have. The crate is really tall so I don't think height would be an issue.
