Moses basket/crib with high stand

I've started looking at moses baskets but they all seem to have very small/low stands so that they are barely off the floor - I seem to remember them being higher than that.

Does anyone know of any that come with higher stands? I have a large dog (greyhound) and I want to make sure baby is not to accessible for her - she loves children and babies but I just want to keep baby out of reach when she's sleeping.

They'll never be left alone together but I figure something a bit taller might discourage the dog from trying to poke her nose in to sniff baby every 5 minutes.

I was wondering whether the pram might be better rather than using a basket downstairs?

Has anyone seen any with taller stands or had to find a similar solution?

I will be interested to hear peoples responses as I have been looking too. We have a lovely labrador and whilst he is part of our family I think we need to set rules .
I have been looking at Izzywotnot website as I like their baskets and I think their stands are quite high .

Mines comes up to around mid thigh level so that's still low I think. I think they are low because they are made loosely as in the frame can be removed easily and they aren't 100% stable, they are only made for lightweight so Im Guessing that's why they are low.

I'm planning on using the pram downstairs for this reason, it's pretty sturdy and the labrador can't get her nose anywhere near the cot. We've had it out for a few weeks and she does ignore it now, the base of the cot is higher than her shoulders. We've got a crib for upstairs where the dog isn't allowed to go!
