John Schroeder (cagemaker , on here) Sold his business to his Nephew. last I heard, the nephew and his partner are still making cages and maintaining the excellent quality that John did.

For coons, I've never needed anything more than the 12x12x30 HD Duke cages. They have rod doors that the coons work so they don't tear up the cage wire.
