Unless you are trying to use the crate to housebreak the dog, i.e. keep the dog in the crate with the door closed when you can't keep and eye on it or are leaving, I don't see the need to have a tiny crate. This is a small dog, and it always will be small, so a crate than is larger (proportionatly) than what you'd use for a golden or GSD isn't really a big problem. Plus, since she is using a plastic cat carrier one might worry about air circulation (heat and quality of air) in something that's small. If the dog starts using the crate to potty, then you should think about making it smaller, but its my opinion that unless its doing that, leave the crate as it is.
