Kennel Sizes - Page 1

The ideal is 5 acres....... 

I have the following sizes:
5' X 15'
10' X 10'
10' X 20'
And a large back yard

Those are large, my dog lives in my house but I will have to consider kennels if I am going together a 2 more. I was hoping if 5x6 or 4x6 would be ok, they would be walked daily inaddition

A 10x10 with a dog house and bowl's on the ground doesn't offer extra room, it's about right but doesnt have play room only living space.    My play area is 10x20 with no dog house.  since it's attached to another kennel it took 5 panel's.

They still need time out in the yard

As i put in another thread my two Dogs have a 12ft +8ft 6'' Ground space each, where they live, But they also have the garden to run in part of the day

Plus they are excersised Twice a day for an hour a time or there abouts with a bit of Obedinance training in that time, then they go to a Schutzhund Training Club three times a week, so that is enough for any Dog to keep it fit

Regards Kennel and run sizes take note of your dog in an outside kennel and run

They use very little space in regards to the area they have. if a dog is pacing all the time them that dog is an unhappy dog

My outside runs are completly open all four sides they have a roof and the height of the Kennels run is 8ft high the roof has an overhang so the rain is defected from entering with of course a Gutter to stop the water coming down, we do not waste water but it goes into a Butt for the garden

Proof in the design of the kennel is the Dogs themselves they look well and fit no problems so it must be okay

The Floor is Concrete two layers with a damp proof membrane in between most important as it stops damp rising throgh the floor of the pen#suface water wetness is not the same as rising damp as it will never dry out naturally  but remain wet
