APBT Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 ive looked into a kennel when my girl was sleeping outside, but i found a decent kennel to be far to expensive. i was given one for free and its great but still, even that was about $300 google how to make a dog kennel and there is some great ones you can make that are wind proof ect, could make it for under $50, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fbaudry Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 BIG THUMBS UP for hound house love themLight easily demountable, up off the ground, clean, warm and even woosy whippets love them How do you think a houndhouse would fare if it was NOT under shelter? I've been struggling to get the ideal one that would provide good shelter, be waterproof etc.... I do not have a carport or verandah, so the kennel has to be pretty much a stand-alone thing. I have found most of the ones you can buy from regular pet barns etc are not very well designed. All the plastic ones are on ground level (no feet) so the minute it rains it splashes inside... And I have got 2 left hands so building something nice myself is not an option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Seeing that it is going into a well sheltered undercover area how about just using a crate? If you got the plastic ones you could just cover it over with a blanket and make sure you put loots of nice bedding in it. If you got a wire one I believe you can get canvas covers for them and again you would put nice bedding into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
APBT Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 for bedding, straw not hay is much better then blankets and old clothes ect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinky11 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 with the houndhouse kennels u can buy a water proof spray to cover it with as ive done and u can buy a door flap that just attaches to the canvas , i love it , off the ground perfect !!!!

wuffles Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 The only problem with the Hound House is that if it gets REALLY windy, it seems to just... blow away! And ours is the XL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissMonaro Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Burpengary Produce sell a reasonably priced wooden kennel with a lift up colourbond roof. I have a few of them. The only downside I have found is the nails arent strong enough when one of my fully grown labradors, that has just had a bath and decides they want to throw themselves into the walls and floor rubbing themselves. But I normally just get a hammer and some nails and its fixed in no time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hilaryo Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 Hi all, I am looking to purchase a dog kennel for my 5 month old beagle puppy. I want something that is well made and waterproof.

Many thanks Hi Anastascia Is it just for during the day or at night also? Will your cav and beagle puppies use it together as you only mentioned your beagle? I use a Hound House during the day under a pergola, although I wouldn't recommend it for overnight use as it just isn't warm enough. How about some pics of your babies?

I never purchased a kennel as I just used a big plastic crate I bought second hand. That worked really well in Brisbane but now I am in Canberra, it's freezing, and the crate has way too much ventilation! Any rec's for kennels down here?? It will be used during the day only for keeping warm and out of the weather. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
