What?

(very difficult to read with all of the .........'s too)

EDIT: I just re-read. Are you asking if it is too small? 4x3 what, feet, meters?

Either way it depends on how much time the pups will be out and about. I crate any pup who comes here at night, when I'm not in the room, when I am cleaning up etc. Young pups should really only be out under supervision anyway. So long as they are getting a lot of stimulation between resting times, chances are they will sleep when in their pen.

Personally, I'd suggest a small crate only big enough for their bed which you can close them into, and then a larger area closed off with a baby gate/ fire guard etc.

Are you looking for a pen that can be used indoors?

As far as I know DTI sell x-pens, if this is what you are after.

yes a pen that is suitable for indoors.

i can construct a suitable one myself but just the size was the issue.
this size,4x3 feet fit's nice and tidy in the dining room while keeping the missus happy also.

Great edit.

I think that size sounds fine. They need socialisation and company at that age more than they need loads of space.

I do think though that a large fire guard, or one of those baby gates you can fold out would be much easier and more flexible though. You can even get an animal play pen.
