A combination transportation crate, ground blind and water blind for a dog reduces the amount of equipment necessary for a hunt. The combination includes a rectangular frame having a top and bottom side with a water permeable material attached to the frame forming a comfortable platform for the dog. A pair of front legs and a pair of rear legs are pivoted to the bottom side of the frame and a pair of canopy supports is pivoted to the top side of the frame. A cover is draped over the canopy supports and extends down over the rectangular frame forming an enclosure with a closable opening along at least one side of the rectangular frame through which the dog may enter and exit.

A combination ground blind, water blind and transportation crate for a dog comprising a generally rectangular frame having a first end, a second end and two sides with a mesh or web water permeable material releasably connected around the frame forming a platform;a first and second U-shaped frame, each U-shaped frame having legs connected with a bight, said legs pivotally attached to the frame near the first and second ends, the first and second U-shaped frames tensioned apart by a support member being adjustable in length and journaled to one of the bights when pivoted generally perpendicular to the rectangular frame in erect condition; said first and second U-shaped frames folding generally flat against a top surface of the rectangular frame in collapsed condition;a first pair of legs and a second pair of legs, said first and second pair of legs pivotally attached to the sides of the frame by hinge assemblies near the first and second ends, respectively, at least one leg of each of said first and second pair of legs having a lock for securing the first and second pairs of legs when pivoted generally perpendicular to the rectangular frame in erect condition; and pivoted by said hinge assemblies generally parallel under the frame in collapsed condition with the platform supported above the ground on the folded legs;a flexible cover supported by the first and second tensioned U-shaped frames in erect condition, said cover having lower edges which are adapted to extend around said rectangular frame along the end and sides sufficient to be releasably secured to an undersurface of said frame, at least one opening in the cover near to the first or second end of the frame, said opening being of a size sufficient to function as an entrance for the dog that will use the combination as a ground blind, water blind or transportation crate, said opening having a closure flap adapted to releasably close the opening;whereby the combination may be used as a ground blind or a transportation crate when said first and second U-shaped frames are erect and tensioned and the first and second pairs of legs are folded against the bottom surface of the rectangular frame andwhereby the combination may be used as water blind when said first and second U-shaped frames are erect and tensioned and the first and second pairs of legs are pivoted and locked generally perpendicular to the frame. 2. The combination of claim 1 wherein the first pair of legs is interconnected with a first cross member and the second pair of legs is interconnected with a second cross member. 3. The combination of claim 2 wherein each leg of the first pair of legs has a pin lock for securing the first pair of legs erect generally perpendicular to the frame, said pin locks directly interconnected by a first cable that when pulled releases the pin locks, and wherein each leg of the second pair of legs has a pin lock for securing the second pair of legs erect generally perpendicular to the frame, said pin locks directly interconnected by a second cable that when pulled releases the pin locks. 4. The combination of claim 2 wherein each leg of the first and second pair of legs is independently adjustable and lockable in length. 5. A combination ground blind, water blind and transportation crate for a dog comprising a generally rectangular frame having a first end, a second end and two sides with a mesh or web water permeable material releasably connected around the frame forming a platform; said frame having first and second frame segments spaced inboard the sides of the frame, said frame segments generally parallel to the sides and attached to one of said first and second ends and to said sides;a first and second U-shaped frame, each U-shaped frame having legs connected with a bight, said legs pivotally attached to the sides of the frame near the first and second ends, respectively, a support member interconnecting the bights of the first and second U-shaped frames, said support member being adjustable in length for tensioning the first and second U-shaped frames when pivoted generally perpendicular to the rectangular frame in erect condition; said first and second U-shaped frames folding generally flat against a top surface of the rectangular frame in collapsed condition;a first pair of legs interconnected with a first cross member and a second pair of legs interconnected with a second cross member, one said first and second pair of legs pivotally attached to the first and second frame segments and said other of said first and second pair of legs pivotally attached to the sides of the frame, at least one leg of each of said first and second pair of legs having a lock for securing the first and second pairs of legs erect when pivoted generally perpendicular to the rectangular frame in erect condition; each leg in said first and second pairs of legs being independently adjustable in length; one said first and second pairs of legs nesting inside the other of said first and second pairs of legs when said first and second pairs of legs are folded generally flat in collapsed condition against a bottom surface of the rectangular frame;a flexible cover supported by the first and second U-shaped frame and support member, said cover having lower edges which are adapted to extend around said rectangular frame sufficient to be releasably secured to an undersurface of said frame when the U-shaped frames are in erect condition and tensioned with the support member, at least one opening in the cover near to first or second end of the frame, said opening being of a size sufficient to function as an entrance for the dog that will use the combination as a ground blind, water blind or transportation crate, said opening having a closure flap adapted to releasably close the opening;whereby the combination may be used as a ground blind or a transportation crate when said first and second U-shaped frames are pivoted generally perpendicular to the rectangular frame and the first and second pairs of legs are folded generally flat against the bottom surface the rectangular frame andwhereby the combination may be used as water blind when said first and second U-shaped frames and first and second pairs of legs are pivoted generally perpendicular to the frame. 6. The combination of claim 5 wherein each leg of the first and second pairs of legs terminates in an enlarged foot, said foot having a hole adapted for use with a stake for staking the blind. 7. The combination of claim 5 having a second opening in the cover at the first or second end opposite the first opening, said second opening being of a size different from the first opening and having a second closure flap adapted to releasably close the second opening. 8. The combination of claim 7 wherein the first and second flaps are zipper closed. 9. The combination of claim 5 wherein the platform formed of mesh or web water permeable material is support by and removably attached to the frame with interlaced straps adjustable in length and coupled together with hook-and-pile fasteners and the lower edges of the cover are attached to an underside of the rectangular frame with hook-and-pile fasteners. 10.
