Crate and bed sizes for the top 30 US dog breeds
The breeds are AKC's 2025 top 30 (AKC). Weights come from the AKC Breed Weight Chart. Crate sizes come from MidWest, plus PetMD for dogs of 12 lb or less, and bed sizes from Orvis. Each size is for the top of the breed's adult weight range. Where the chart entry was unusable, the weight comes from that breed's own AKC page, linked in the row.
