I have 4 dogs and have never crated. Then again, I give my dogs lots of love and exercise. All night and all day in a crate is just wrong in my opinion. If I wanted a pet in a cage, I probably would not have gotten a dog. But, since you have a mixed breed dog, and it is a life time commitment, you should perhaps talk to a trainer. Remember this pup is only what, 8 weeks old? It should have stayed with it's mom until it was 12 weeks old.
