JDFrain 1 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 After your thoughts, going to build a couple of runs for the dogs and just wondering if anyone could advise on a minumum space to give them. only reason i ask is that its to going in my back yard and i am pushed for space. the terriers will only be left in there for a few hours each day and overnight. At the moment they have the run of the whole yard and a 8ft x 8ft shed but i need the space back, back yard measures 9ft wide by 20ft long. Not to worriedd about the bed area as will probs make this about 2ft by 3ft... got plenty ideas but just want to make sure i get it right before digging drainage in and laying blocks cheers john Quote Link to post

JDFrain 1 Posted February 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 cheers mick for the reply. been looking at a few today for dimensions little surprised how little space some folks give there dogs but guess its down to how often they are out with them.... cheers John Quote Link to post
higgins 75 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 I have a run which is approx 8 foot square but most of the time i let them have the run of the garden which is 30 foot x 20 foot and they don't seem to use the full garden,they prefer to wait at the back door to come in!I don't think it is critical as if they are in the run they will just wait to be let out for walks and a runaround,if they are taken out regularly for walks or work then you could get away with a smaller run,but if confined then they would need more area,just my thoughts on this, Higgins.
