Kennel And Run Ideas

Sometimes the most placid dog friendly mutt will fight through a fence, something about the physical barrier making them more territorial I guess. I can't see a good reason not to have solid dividers TBH

 

Same aggresion they show when on lead

fox digger what colour gates or bars aru u putting in them.if it was me i would go with black powder coated saw them in a few yard looks well.

 

Yes mate, going to go black powder coat over galvanised bars. I'm half way through making them up. Hard to get time for your own work!! If my explanation makes sence then there will be a gate at each side of the small stub walls with the white capping, then a railing over the stubby wall in between the two gates. There will be divisions running from the back of each red brick pier to the back wall and in the middle of the stubby walls. So each arch has two runs 14feet by 6feet and a gate hanging off each pier.....

cant wait to see it finished.

Neither can I mate, it's a ball breaker!!!

If you lose dogs in a kennel fight then that's down to your own foolishness imo-gaz the last thing you want is for the Mrs and nipper having to watch/listen to your dogs screwing each other if your not about-scare them for life mate.we all like to think that we know our dogs but trust me the c**ts will always suprise you mine all gt on but are funny when one comes In season and got to watch em.atb dc

heard few stories of dogs nearly killing each other in and out of kennel when they have lived and worked along side each other for years

There's only so much we can do though isn't there. Okay so you use solid panels in the kennel for dividers. But mine aren't 24/7 kennel dogs what only come out for a few hours a week like some.

 

Can I not go a walk along the shop when they are playing in the garden?

 

Can I not take a bath in case they kick off in the kitchen?

 

Should I keep them in separate cages in the motor incase they decide to kill each other when I'm driving on the motorway?

 

Or do you socialise the dogs well from young, let them experience plenty of time together as a pack in and around the house and give them plenty of graft and excersise so they are chilled out and relaxed and then hope for the best?

Up here in the east mids,,and the north,,,we used pit convayor belt as roofing felt,,,nicked from the stock yards at the pit,,,bet there's a few more on here can remember them days,,lol

[Gilbey 1,430]

Not as old as you but conveyer belt has come in handy, and the dull head lamps.

Some really impressive kennels on here especially the stone work.

 

Always kept mine in house but have built a kennel at work for nowt,

Assorted wire and wood for run and the sleeping box is made out of two insulated doors cut up, dog goes through a carpet flap and turns through second door to keep drafts out, or sleeps on top, does the job.

In a word, no.

 

There have been plenty of cases over the years of people losing their dogs in fights, or confiscations because someone has heard a fight and the police/RSPCA have got there before the owner.

 

my dogs are all kennelled individually. If I'm not DIRECTLY supervising them (walking or training or playing in the garden) they go in their kennels or on chains so they can't each each other. When we go in the motor they are all muzzled. I'll be investing in seperate cages as soon as I get the set up right.

I went for wood for mine , as said make sure drainage is good , better to put it to a main sewer rather than soak away if you can as its going to end up getting crap hair and all sorts down there and a soak away will end up blocked / stinking .

 

My pair have insulated sleeping boxes inside the kennel.

I've looked at these myself but they didn't work out much cheaper than the solid Galv panels. Not sure how it would work out building your own. But I think I'm going down the solid panel route next with bar dividers and bar front gates. Small wooden kennel inside or a plastic barrel and a decent roof...

gaz that's similar to what I'm doing only a block of 4 runs- 4ft x4ft each for my terriers-solid dividing partions and mesh door fronts-comes in at just under 700 notes for metalwork then got to put a roof on it,that's around another 100/150-they will have 30 l blue plastic barrels filled with sawdust and straw up off the floor.got all the drainage channels foc from site.worked it out at around 1050 all in.my lurcher runs 3.2m X2.0m and only has the one young dog in there as the wife has brought the old girl into the house.only gets up for a piss/walk or food lazy bitch lol.best thing about panels is they easy to take down/add on if need be atb dc
