Barrels

[Mooching Celt 659]

Got a dog here that destroys boxes with vengance so decided he’s going to sleep in a plastic barrel instead, what size in litres do any of you guys use? Don’t want to order one and find out it’s wrong

Got my bitches in the 30 litre one's.... Enough room to turn around and stops them standing up and pissing in their beds, £6 off ebay....50 litres if you got large terriers or 100 litres for a running dog, They can Chew them too their hearts content lol2 x2 framework up off the floor and a little bench on top to sun themselves. I got a small kennel/whelping box for when I breed a litter.

You got a picture without the mesh in the way mate? Any problems with condensation in colder weather?

I used to cut out the lid in a semi circle ,so half the lid was gone for dog to get in and out, put load of straw in for bedding, 

never had any issues with condensation or chewing , Yet the lurcher bitch would shred a wooden kennel when in season.

They had some for sale in Aldi last week. I think they were £20 each or something like that.

I have a couple of box chewers here who I was often tempted to put in a barrel. An upright one full of water...................................but so far I haven't gone that far. It's a very annoying habit and it's definitely hereditary.

Couldn’t get mine in the 30litre, couldn’t fit. I have the same as dig deeps but I have it cut in the middle, top slid over bottom and sat upright. Does the job and easy to clean

I agree with the hereditory bit Neil, same as barking in the kennels! I had a b*****d but his daughter has taken his crown.
