thanks for your help, so sorry to hear your little one died. Thanks for taking the trouble to post the link
this is the crate I was looking at in the UK, bit confusing my wife and I live in India but travelling back to the UK when the rules change next year.
http://www.doggiesolutions.co.uk/sky-pet-carrier-vari-kennel-airline-approved-dog-crates-8725-0.html intermediate was the one the company said would be OK but I keep thinking it only allows 3 inches extra for his length but as you say more room given he is only short!! He loves to lie stretched out so not sure if he would curl up in one may be he would?
Thanks for you input
