If you decide to build a kennel for your dog, I
want you to know that is not that hard to do. If you have some time and will,
you will do it fast. It will take you just a few hours to build a quality one.
In this article you will find some ideas on how to build your own dog kennel.
The size and the style of the
kennel
Basically, there are 3 major types of kennels. The first is the medium one, for
a single dog. It is recommended for the small breeds like the Jack Russells or the
Dachshunds. Be aware of the fact that inside the kennels it can get quite hot.
Make sure you have place for ventilation also.
The second type is the large house for a single dog. It is highly recommended
for big dog breeds like the German Shepperd, the Doberman or the Golden
Retriever. If you do it properly it will be perfect and cold in summer time and
warm in winter.
Also, people who have more than one dog can build a dog for both of them. This
duplex house has a separating wall that can be removed if you want the dogs to
sit together. That is good if you have a pair or in winter times because the
dogs can snuggle.
Extra Kennel Tips
Besides the style and the size, you need to consider other aspects. First of
all, the majority of dog houses have a pointed roof. That is not that
recommended because the pointed roof can attract wasps or hornets that can make
the nest there. If you live in a wet area, build a roof that can drain easily.
There are many schematics online and you will see how easy it is to do this.
Also, the kennel needs to be lifted from the ground at least 2 - 3 inches. This
will keep everything cool in summer time and also, in rainy times, it will
prevent the dog from getting wet. Put hinges on the roof also to make the
cleaning process really easy.
In this way you will easily remove the dog hair.
And last, but not the least, make sure you have measured the dog before you
have cut the length of the wood. Adjust the plants if the dog is bigger.
