    we got a large one from Petbarn (think it was about $150/$200). It was rectangular, but the doorway was on the long side but at the side (so there was the doorway gap then the rest of the long side ITMS). I prefer that style rather than the doorway at the front and the kennel goes back from there, as they can't get out of the wind/rain if it is blowing straight into the kennel.
    Ours also had a lift up lid which was handy as we fed him in there at first to get him used to it, and made taking out his bedding easy. That being said, once he chewed up his third mattress we didn't get him another and he refused to use the kennel from then on, no matter what the weather was like

    We have a big plastic one, the type of plastic they make water tanks out of. We have a boxer & she is big for her breed. But the kennel is a great size for her & the roof is like a lid so you can clean it easy etc. Cost about $200 from memory.
