It seems like it would help with drainage. Dogs have destroyed my house. I can't leave them or sell them. Ill have to look more at the way you dealt with the sun and heat. That humidity from the sprinklers prob helps. I had to place my stoic dog and his son with someone.
One of my principles in choosing a breeding strategy and pups was the following. I wanted a dog that I could have in the house, that would work hard, and could hunt. I was out in the woods and an old man was squirrel hunting with some terriers. He came upon a hog sow. The sow charged him and his dogs ran behind him. Luckily he was able to hit her before he was gored. I wanted dogs that I knew would have my back and take a hold. The dog I farmed out is like that. Super protective and wants no dog around me. He got to a point where he would grab any dog that came near me. Its what I want but I have to farm him out. The son I have have in the house with me is like that. He's fearless. He growled at his sister when she came too close. She would have killed him. Another son is the same way.
Im going to have to put someone outside. the experience with the pups was a hard lesson. I need at least two secure 10x10s I can rotate out if i need. to.
I never planned on having this many. I like the start I have. I don't know what I should do. I like my bike rides with my dogs. I'm never sure if i should let the neighborhood kids play with them. Stoic is and threw so much, energy high pain tolerance and stable temprament. I know his son David would do great with them. Hanna too. Clo is like a quiet storm. I think her brains and calm come from Mr. Machobuck.
I need to get back on my bike. My pups looked like crap at the last show and I didn't place. I went back to putting in road work and increasing the feed some. I hate to lose. I can't tell how to read my neighbors.
You have any advice or experience setting up a fan to run off solar. The cross breeze would be beneficial. I don't know if i want it running off my house power. Plus i don't think a fan needs that much current.
I paid to run an electric line back there. I hate the city. Love it out in the country.
I have my dogs in 10 x 10s with pavers. I live in a cold climate and plan on running power to the garage next to the kennels. I want go install hound heaters in the houses for the winter.
Just build concrete doghouses with insulated brick
Beautiful set up. When you have time, please post some shots of those dog houses.
Do they make tops for those pens. I have the same 10x10 setup. I have come out to see my male standing on top of the back fence. I have seen all kinds of expansion panels but never a top. It looks like one side of the top was covered in the video
