Aye all compartments are floated with slight run off and all water goes into that man hole..

Interested in what others use for bedding material, I personally use shredded paper ok with dark dogs but try to avoid shredded newspaper for instance if you are fussy with your dogs especially white ones as it stains their coats

Ive got a white lurcher & the papers never stained it bud..

I have used shredded newsprint and didn't like it the white greyhounds always looked grubby an it tended to clump up. Shredded cardboard was good. I went back to using good quality straw at one point but it had to be changed every 3 days. There was some other white plastic paper stuff on the go put it caused static and stuck to the dogs so they had it everywhere. In the end I went for double thickness vetbed and just rugged the dogs up whenever it got chilly. Cost a bob or two but was worth it washed and dried very quickly but even this had problems and I had to nail it down to stop them scratting it up.

Bedding is a problem full stop.

I've caught this wheaten cross of mine sleeping in the run when there's frost on the ground. Mad Fuckers.

Nothing to do with Molly coddling the dogs, just if I'm spending and busting a bollock to get them done I'd rather have something done right first time round. Chances are they won't need a heat lamp or tube but never hurt to have it there just incase.

I might block up like giro done then use wood on top like him, thanks for the pics giro

No worries mate..

 

Works well and if they want they can lay ontop of the wood..

 

I was worried theyd chew the roof , a keen dog could destroy them bitchumen sheets in a short time..

 

I used to have box profile tin sheets on my old runs but got condensation and dripped..

Must admit I do like them up off the floor maybe around 1.5 ft with a 6" front on the bed so total 2 ft jump up.

 

Hard worked dogs need to be warm and dry out of the wind. But some dogs don't like it. I have had greyhound pups sleep outside and get covered in snow when they had a warm bed to lie in.
