    I have had several setups trough the years , you improve and improve
    this setup is almost where I want it

    as you can see on this pic the walls are from top to bottom solid from very hard PVC thats used in pig stalls

    no tails or legs or noses can be touched by the other dog





    next week the final 6 new doghouse will arrive , I already had 6 and the new 7 will be in the harbor on tuesday

    The only weak point is minimal area for the dogs to move around, as well as concrete flooring that basically means the dogs have to trample their own waste as soon as it's produced.

    Taking photographs of a clean setup is one thing, but the reality is (unless someone is home and hosing them down a few times a day), dogs are going to be stepping in their own excrement in a small kennel run.

    I personally prefer above-ground pens to runs, for this reason, if I want to keep a dog in a pen-type situation. The feces drops between the slats, and the dogs never have to step in their own feces.

    I prefer chain setups overall, 10'+, for the freedom and life of the dog ... unless you live in an area of heavy snake infestation. (With chain setups, dogs also tend to poop in certain areas, and then avoid those areas.)

    Lost one of my favorite bitches to a snake bite once, while on the chain, that could have been prevented by the use of an above-ground pen. Still, one snake bite in 20+ years of dogs being on a chain isn't bad.

    Life-quality wise, chains are best.

    Overall safety/cleanliness of the dogs, above-ground pens are best.

    Appearance-wise, nice cement kennel runs look best.

    think I've seen them in a book called indispensable tips or ultimate bible something like that

    this is how it looks 24/7 I feed raw ( 1 poop per day) and clean kennels twice a day , I scrub every dog bowl daily and fresh water daily

    My Motto is I give you all 100% , there should be no excuse when I put em down
    I think I lost about 15 or so and it was all my fault



    PS the difference between pic 1 and pic 2 is I think 9 years
    the red bitch at the end is the damn of the brindle
