Just curious as to what size kennel you keep your lurchers in gonna build a new kennel it cant be any bigger than 8ft x6ft would that be big enough for a lurcher. Thanks

Well I'm currently building new kennels for two dogs , both kennels will be 11 ft by 8 ft one on the right one on the left they will be joined in the middle by a 8ft by 6ft shed which will be halfed off so they will each get 4th by 3ft bed area.

8' X 6' is a good sized kennel for a lurcher, i have 3 8' x 4' kennels 2 are for the terriers and 1 has my lurchers beds in it which is never closed so they can go in and out as they please and have access to their area which is around 25' x 18'

I cant have a run on mine just aint got the space for it its just going to be a 8 x 6 shed with a raised bed theres only going to be one lurcher in there just a bit worried it wont be big enough.

it's plenty room for 1 lurcher, so long as it gets plenty exercise everyday, are you going to have mesh or bars at one side as a shed would be far too warm for a dog to be locked in for long periods, i have a roof covering my galvanised kennels and the dogs are warm enough in there in their beds even in winter through the day

Im goin to put a stable door on it so the top half can be open during the day meshed off so he cant jump out and locked during the night and there will be a window in there so that can be left open during the night

mine is 4m x 4m with 6ft galve panles and sectioned down the middle to make a double run

that looks smart mate did you build yourself or buy in ? how much would did that set you back if you dont mind me asking

[the big chief 3,099]

a few of the family built it it cost just over £1000 for every thing concrete blocks the job lot

Be ideal so long as you dont have a dog that chews, it's one of the things i dont like about wood, here's mine, i've had these kennels for 14yrs,in front of the kennels is the large run area which has a 6' wall round it............ my dogs all come in at night though

 

 

the gafer..........thats a lovely set up you have

im making one at the moment, its got a sleeping area of 1 meter x 1 meter and a run of 2 meters x 1.2 meters, its built in my workshop/out building does anyone else have a kennel and run inside? my dogs will only be in there while im at work and after i get in from walking them to dry off etc, then there in the house,
