EAST TEXAS HOG DOGGERS FORUM

Im thinking of building some kennels and was wondering what size they should be any advice would be helpful.

Mine are 8x8 nothing fancy but they work

I built 6x10's, enough room for 3-6 young pups or 2 adults

Mine are 10X10 and 6ft high.

How many dogs you got?
I got some that are 5'x10' just 1 dog in these.
Some 10'x10' got 2 dogs in these

   mine are 8x16  one dog to a kennel  i have a couple of larger ones for a gyp with pups or an older litter  .  but on a note when building kennels the size where you keep dogs has alot to do with how often you hunt .  hunt a bunch smaller kennels . hunt a little larger kennels   . when we were haveing alot of trouble with the humane sociatys  [ not that we're not now ] in their legislation the proposed making it mandetory that a kennel was  10 x 15  per dog .[  wich would have made all the shelter facilitys absolite i might add ] .  they have not givin up on all this . might be something to consider when putting money into a permant structure .  you can make the kennels smaller but be able to , if the need arises, be able to remodel and keep in compliance with any new laws that might arise  .

I don't feel a dog will get any more exercise in a 6 x 8 then it would in a 10 x 10.  Write the cost and see what the difference is.

Before hurrican katrina my kennels were 3x12 now they are 5x10 soon i will be going back to a long skinny

Almost done building my new kennels 4 pens 4x10 each one dog per pen.. going to build a good run yard out in front so they can stretch there legs in the evenings, but i also have two kennels at my dads place that are 6x12 each there plenty of room for two dogs or for momma dogs with pups..

i have one thats 5x10 and another thats 16x6 and 3 bays plenty of room

can some of yall post some pics i would love to see some of em.

My kennels are 5 x 10 with a divider gate so they can double as "2" 5x5 kennels......I hunt at least twice a week and most of the time three times a week so dogs get plenty of excercise.

Whatever happened to a couple of 5gal buckets, ol barrel, an some chain?  ???

most dogs are taken better care of then we take care of ourselves bowtech ;D and cajun those look exceptional soon i will build a fort like that when my winning numbers pop up  ;)

HaHa, all my bay dogs have kennels, but CD's got chain!

Thanks, I have had this dilemma. My kennel building is getting in the way of my hunting & my hunting is getting in the way of finishing my kennels. Right now the hunting is winning. :D
  My buddy, who is a electrician asked me why I needed so many receptacles. I told him if he saw all the stuff that has to be charged before every hunt, he would understand.lol

Mine r 8x12 but with a walk through hole in the middle so its a 8x16 unless my mt curr goes into heat then I can close it 2 separate her and my pit

8x16 here. Main cd on a chain cuz I don't have a kennel that will hold him if he winds a hog behind the house. Had him break out one day an caught a shoat behind the house, he then gorged himself and came home with a huge belly!! Lol even had a blood beard lol. I think I'm going to remodel and do all 8x10 soon. They will still have plenty of room

sorry i messed up on that... 16x12 unless i close the middle and seperate then 2-8x12
