Thanks. I looked at Walmart today and they only had the smaller ones in the 
store. For a dog over 50 pounds, it appears to be an online purchase for the 
Large which is $28.95 I think it was. So, plan to order one soon.

Greg,

With the disclaimer that I have no personal experience with the product, and
Amazon has no reviews, hear is a pop up crate
http://www.amazon.com/Extra-Large-Kennel-Sportpet-Design/dp/B003Y2KZEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1363604178&sr=8-1&keywords=pop+up+crate
however, I have seen them for less at places like Wal-Mart, Job-lot, and
Building 19.
