activeviii Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Just about to start digging a base for a dog. spent a few days thinking about buying one but i wanted a bespoke one for not a lot of money so i will be making it. it will be for 2 cockers, maybe 3 and they are only in there if we are out for the afternoon, to dry off after being in the lakes and mud and maybe overnight. question is what size do i make it. i was thinking about 10x5 and 7 high Phil.

activeviii Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Looking at a run and kennel all in one. i have gone for 10'x5'. 3' kennel area and a 7' run. its only for a part time housing for 2 cockers so judging by the ready made jobs then im not far off. ATB Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
