Nice

Looks like a nice drain in the middle. Good kennel setup too. Mine are exactly the same. What are the toughts behind the placement of the doghouses? sun? stepping the poopoo?

wind for winter and lying in the sun in the summer , I am about to change all of them with dog dens next week

I have seen these setups before, and they're very nice.

I like the setup a lot as far as containment purposes its a very solid setup with no weak points that I can see .

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

I also have these two chain setups , due to the fact their not allowed I used them for the dogs to stretch their legs

On the video is rock aka horsefly a son of ch stone , believe it or not I took this video about a year or so ago when he was like 17 or 18

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
