t I wouldn’t have had money for a cage at the time

You had the money for a trainer, dog food and veterinary care, but not for a kennel?

I figured you would say that. I did not have funds extra for a dog but I needed one to protect my property in a rental home. Parents gave me $200 to pay for the German Shepherd from a breeder. The breeder permitted me to attend obedience classes for free. The dog saved me from further burglaries. The dog was five months at the time and had spent days with the trainer at his facility. The dog needed to learn to take commands from me.

Actually, as I recall, the dog was seven months old when I got her. Not five months. She was young but still big enough to frighten burglars.
