Putting him in a kennel

[stork 1]

I have a lovly Kennel for my pup his 14 weeks old now when is the best age to put him in it .

 

Also when should i start taking him ferretting to see the ferrets and bunnys.

i would already have him outside so he can be near the ferrets and get used to them ,you dont want to leave it to long or you might have a accident ,take him along with you as soon as possible ferreting the older dogs will bring him on .he will soon pick it up

Mine was outside in the kennel at six weeks, but it was during summer months.

A little heat when it's very cold would be advisable.

IS THERE OTHER DOGS THERE AS WELL, IF THERE IS MAKE SURE THEY ARE REALLY GOOD WITH HIM, USUALLY A YOUNG DOG WILL KENNELL WITH AN OLDER BITCH, AS LONG AS FED SEPERATE, AS FOR HEATING, IF THERE IS ANOTHER DOG IN WITH IT, THEN THEY WILL SNUGGLE UP AND KEEP EACH OTHER WARM, JUST KEEP AN EYE ON THEM FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS

I dont have another dog i have had him down there in the day it is freezing so what time of the year is the best when it gets warm he has been bit 3 times by the ferrets but he is ok with them im still lerring him get use to them at the mo.

No chance of heat lamp but could fill his sleeping quaters of quilts towls jumpers i have converted an old coal bunker to a bed all boarded and a big wooden box to sleep in.

Puppys if not born outside in the winter, they sould either have a heat lamp or some sort of heater or they should be put out in the summer so they have time to acclimatise but they must have some warm bedding straw, paper or I have found barley straw to be the best.

He is not outside yet but tomorrow im am going to start feeding him in the kennel and carry this on every day then start leaving him in there for a few hours a day to see what he is like in there.

 

I am going to put a lot of warm bedding in his bed for him.

Had my black terrier pup outside in the kennel at 6 weeks, it dont take long for them to get used to it. The longer you keep then in the harder it is to kennel them, just past expierence. Just make sure the kennel is draft free and warm for the pup.

I put him in the kennel at 7.30am and fead him in there took him out for 30 mins walk and fead him his lunch feed at 12 which he hasn`t eaten hes had a good old moan but nothing to bad he now is going to sleep in his bed instead of laying in the run i think he has realised its alot warmer in ben than laying on cold slabs.
