steve0146 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 I'm building a kennel in the back garden. What sort of minimum size should i be looking at. I have an area set aside that is 4ft x 9ft. It has to included a house and run. Is this big enough? My mates dog house and run are about the same size as my ferret run and he reckons thats all they need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 The best answer to this is as much space as you can possibly give them for the run. For a sleeping box make it big enough to stand up and turn around in and stuff but make it too big and the space wont heat up and keep the dog or dogs warm. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are ever intending to breed from your dog then the provision of space for a whelping box in the kennel should be thought about? Imo 9ft x 4ft including a kennel is a tad small unless it is intended for a terrier maybe. A long run is considered better for the dog to exercise in than a square one. Cheers Rob.

WGD Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 Whatever size you make it, you will fill it with dog/s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
