The only problem with two crates is the crowded house feature with two much furniture and two crates. They slept together last night in the 'fort' and did well, so we will continue to test that and see if it works for them. Thanks to everybody for their responses, jjrs
Crates can be stacked, then they don't take up more floor space.

I have to agree with Jane, it would be better for the dogs to have two crates. When dogs or any animal gets too crowded they tend to get a bit crabby. Also two dogs in one crate might be too hot especially in the summer time.

And yes, at times they might need to be seperated and it is good if they used to that before hand.
