what size of crate?

Hello everyone!
I am getting my baby boy in a couple weeks when his stitches from a surgery heal up. I am trying to figure out what size of crate I should get for Tank. I want to train him to sleep in the crate at night and go in it when I am gone during the day and when company that isn't too fond of big dogs come over. I could buy a regular size cage but I want to just buy the right size so he can be in it forever and I won't have to buy another one down the road. Tank is a French mastiff. any suggestions?

Well I have a cane corso any he is 3 months but I bought 1 that would fit a great dane ...and u mite look @ I crate.com. or Midwest crates they had the best prices and shipping was free .
 
I got mine at Petsmart. It fits up to a Great Dane. I have an English Mastiff and I was able to comfortably keep her in it until she was about 7 months old and about 120 pounds.

Most crates for sale now also have the dividers so that you can buy tge biggest crate but can adjust the size with the divider as they grow

We were given two large crates that were much to big for now. I cut some plywood to size, drilled holes in the sides and used zip ties to hold it in place. Works well and easily will convert to a larger size when ready. I would buy the biggest size you will end up using and modify it if it doesn't come with dividers.
