we are getting a keeshond ( medium sized dog, grows to be about 16-19 inches tall, and 35-45 pounds) puppy in a a little over a week, we have a outdoor play pen simmilar to the one pictured above^
would this be ok for our puppy while we are at work? would it still work as the dog got older/bigger? we will be setting it up indoors

No invest in a proper crate.

I think it may work when the dog is little, but when it gets older it will be able to jump out of it. If you buy a pen or crate that is made for dogs and get him used to it when he is a puppy you will have a lot less trouble.
ummm. well it will definately work when its a puppy. I think it will work when its bigger.
just watch and make sure the puppy doesnt chew on it. and make sure he cant jump over it when he;s bigger. AND make sure he doesnt know how to open it. my dog figured out how to open her crate. its the kind that u lift and pull out. So, u never know what your dog will be able to do.
hope this helped(:
this would be ok, whilst the puppy is small, but when it grows it will be able to jump over it. If you train your puppy in no time at all you will be able to leave him in the kitchen with a gate to stop him walking into other rooms. Hope this helps.
A lady around the corner from me used one like that for her lab puppy and it worked well. I think as the dog grows up it would be a bit small, but for a puppy, it should work fine.
Congrats on the puppy, have fun with him/her!
Yes, and it will give the puppy room to move around without having to be a crate all day long. The dog may be able to jump over it though when it gets big, or climb out.
Would work fine while a puppy, but when its older it may become a problem. Who knows, if it grows up in it it may learn not to jump out!
