So fustrating!
The last time our female Sweetpea came into heat, we had an accidental litter. She works just as hard to get to the males as they work to get to her.
Well, she came in again and I caught our yard dog trying to dig into her kennel. She was doing her best to cheer him on. So now I have her on house arrest. Im not taking any chances again. We only have two females, Sweetpea and her daughter, Penny. The rest of our dogs are males. Sweetpea and Penny are good hog dogs but some days I wonder if its worth the trouble of having males and females.
Its amazing what those dogs can do. One time we went outside to see that our male, Foot, who even though was on a chain, had chewed and ripped a hole though the chain link on the females kennel and was standing on the inside of the kennel, still clipped to his chain with no slack.
Just needed to vent.
Guess we need to spend the money and put them on concrete and find a more durable wire than chainlink.
Have you ever thought about a 5 wire electric fence around the outside of the kennel sides hooked up to a really hot shcoker box, thats what i had to do one time on a ranch i was semi living working on with dirt kennels, you can run 1 ground and 4 hot about 2 feet from the ground and it will keep them back from the fence before they get to chewing it or trying to crawl over, cheaper than concrete for sure, terriers are the worst about digging under too by the way i thinklol
