On Owls input, the first is the the best rule. I wish I had listened to my dad and everybody, instead I brought home a gyp and had nowhere to kennel her. Ended up putting a Walmart kennel on grass and you know how that ended. Then I finally poured a very nice pad of concrete BUT!!!! My trough in the back drains to the middle so that sucks. Then I rushed to get kennels and mind you I got three tractor supply 10 x 10 kennels for 200.00 bucks and they were the thinner chain link. So now I'm paying for that by having to fix the kennels. Ohh and I have half of the roof done. So to any newbie, GET THE KENNELS DONE FIRST AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE DOG PROOF.
What are you referring to when you say, “Instead I brought home a gyp and had nowhere to kennel her. Ended up putting a Wal-Mart kennel on grass and you know how that ended.”? I don't use kennels... LOL! I like a good chain set up... they get 15-20 ft radius, and build good muscle mass. It helps our gritty dogs be able to anchor better because if they find a 2-250 lber... they are prolly gona catch it.
But thanks, I did find that out too when I bought two dogs trying to start dogging, and didn't have the set up ready. I paid for it dearly. I also would like to say, to any other beginner that might look at this post. Make sure you have all of the gear you need like leads, cut collars, cut vests, and ect... you WILL pay if you do not. curdog, thanks for your input buddy.
OCD, I guess you are just reposting the other one in agreement? If so, thank you too for your input. Duly noted.
