Only if you want puppies. They come into heat when you are working hard and coming home tired. When you notice she is in heat it is already too late. The male knew she was coming into heat way before you did and you got puppies on the way. Build another dog house. I built one on a pallet. Cut a 8x4 piece of plywood in half for the floor and roof. Then made some walls out of plywood. Put it so it slopes to the front and drill a couple drain holes in the floor. It was cheap and big enough for big dogs. I can even crawl into it. I thought about using a whole piece of plywood for the top and bottom on two pallets. Reckon even put a TV in it. So when I get in trouble I can just go hang out with my dogs
