Can the 42" fit a tall lab/hound mix who weighs 74lbs. It is for short, couple hour holding.

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!

My dog is still a puppy - only weighing 25 pounds at the moment - but from the looks of it, a 74lb lab/hound mix should do fine in there - especially if only for a couple hours.

My dog is about 25lbs (Schnoodle mix) and he curls up just fine. But it's funny to watch him get in as he has to 'duck' to get in. I think a 42lb dog would find this too snug.

I would say "no". My Doberman/lab mix is only 65 lbs, and I want him to stretch out as he grows. I got him when he was a tiny puppy and first bought the 36" version and before he was 5 months old, he had already out grew it and had to buy him the 42" version. I tend to upgrade when the top of his head can touch the top of the kennel. Now it is time to buy the 48" version unfortunately. I hadn't planned on this dog getting so big! If you haven't already purchased this, I recommend you go with the 48".

I would not recommend this bag for a 28 pound animal of any kind. My dog is about 13 pounds and he is a perfect fit for the bag. He curls up and goes to sleep in flight and appears quite comfortable, but I would say he is the maximum size for this bag.

We have a Cocker Spaniel approx. 25lbs. He fits in the 36" with ample room. Your dog would probably be more comfortable in the 42 in my opinion.

I've got the large size. If your dog isn't more than 20" at the shoulders then I'd think it would work fine. Otherwise you may want to look at the XL size. We have a yellow lab that's about 22" at the shoulders and he won't go in the Large size but our 2 slightly shorter dogs use it just fine.

It depends on the coat. I have a 50lb lab and she has a large. It has to do more with the length of their coat. My roommate has a pit and his is a short or small and works great. A large would probably be to big and wouldn't grab the hair

Oh yes. My son's dog is 64 lbs. and it is a life saver. Doc fits in it perfectly and he finds it fine at first when he was in it he looked around like "what's this, but now he enjoys it a lot. This will be great for your lab.

I would think so. The straps are plenty big and adjustable. My dog is just too darn small for it. She's full grown 5lbs. The holder is very wide on her.

I have a 75 pound lab-boxer and it fits him nicely...but his neck is probably not as big as yours...he has more the lab neck instead of the boxer neck. The collar is very sturdy and is great for water dogs!

I have a 70 pound boxer; work fine for her. I think it would be a tight fit for your dog.

We use it for our 7 month old Walker Coonhound/German Shepherd (35lbs at this time) and there is about 5 inches extra hanging. I absolutely think it would be long enough for a Lab Retriever!

Disregard my first comment, after rereading your question I noticed the 42 pound weight. I would try a medium for your JR mix.

I have a 70 lb labradoodle. She is very tall and long and has plenty of room in the crate. Prefers it over our temperpedic!

I don't think so, it might be able to hold it but definetly it won't be a decent fit. I have a standard size Golden Retriever and it fits right, a bigger dog would need something different

This thing is huge! 42 inches...yes...Our yellow lab weight 96.4# and has plenty of room.

Hi Kathy I think that this bed would be plenty large enough for your 85lb Lab. My 60lb pointer looks so small on it when he is curled up but the width is nice for his long length when he stretches out. My 75lb Catahoula bulldog also has plenty of room on it, curled or stretches out. Of the 3 beds that I recently purchased this one is the favorite of the pointer. When I talked to the company they were going to make another size ( I think larger)
