Kennelruns. 3,6*4,8m that is about 17 m2 or 187 square feet. I keep all of mine that way.

i noticed size doesnt really matter for kennels because they are in the doghouse 95 % of the day. they r not going to tiger sidewards. It should be big enough for them to have a clean environment around the doghouse and the front of the kennel though. some setups are to sad to look at, dogs walking in their own urine and shit bringing it in their doghouse too.
skippers kennel are just awesome, if i have the space it would make them the same.

R2L. I have them that way because the law says they have to be that big. But I don't make a fuzz about it. Helps me keep my yard pretty small. And thats the way I like it. I have never had more than 10 dogs at the same time.
Its not about the number of dogs anyway. If you have 3 good ones those can keep you pretty busy :D

I'm with you on that. If you are a breeder establishing a bloodline I can see the pro's with a larger number of dogs. I'm not a breeder, don't sell dogs. Breeding is something I do to get dogs for myself. I don't need more than 2-3 brood dogs at a time. The best ones that makes it becomes brood dogs automaticly when they get older.

I have chain setups and pens, so I can rearrange the dogs depending on whats going on at any given time. The pens are great for bad weather, dogs in heat, dogs in keep while I can still rotate them all on the chain. And also use a 10x10 for the pups that are young.

I use chain set ups, I used to use 10x10 kennels but got tired of watching them pace back and fourth all day long. I live in the city too but prefer the look of a proper chain setup. hey agk if you don't mind me asking what do you have that chain anchored to?
