My dead Nan, the dogs sleep on her lap, and her bones stop them from chewing the kennel up as well .

 

Always thinking me, staying a step ahead of the game .

I use shreaded cardboard, its warm and comfy for the dogs, cheap and isnt bad for getting everywhere! Its meant for Horses but is ideal for dogs.

Always used wheat straw for my old spaniel.

Do not use barley strw tho!!!

 

Why not barley straw?

 

I use shreded jay cloth or wood shavings.

 

 

Was told that barley straw was not good cos of the 'ears' on the stalks.

I know most should have been removed but they are like grass seeds and creep if they get in a dogs ear

My kelpies, like the collies mentioned above, tend to prefer to sleep on the bare boards. However, I always put some kind of blanket/bedding in there for them (just in case) but they usually ruck it up to the edges.

 

Incidentally, how do you get rid of the hairs which invariably come out in the washing machine whenever you wash the "washable" blankets...even my wife's hand held Dyson has trouble with them.

 

My last lurcher (kelpie/collie x greyhound) used to drag his blanket out of the kennel and sleep on the flagstones as a pup until he was old enough to jump on top of the kennel and sleep there.
