Well Justin...we think alike. Many years ago I did the exact same thing. Had a litter of 12 I kept until they were 12 weeks. These were bred right pen dog puppies and its fairly easy to tell what's what at an early age when your talkin about strictly bay pen dogs. Anyhow...I built a 20X80 puppy pen out of 36" welded wire. Worked great! Easy to step over...no gates to worry about. Lots of space...they could run and play. Eventually my keepers started climbing out but it was time to move them to kennels by then anyway.
I have the same plans in mind this go round.

10 4 Kevin. I bought 2 1x2x48" 100ft sections of horse fence and used 6 4x4's and 20 t-posts and built one roughly 50x40, then ran barb wire around the top and bottom to deter em from digging and jumping. The way i figure it is When they are big enough to jump out at the gate they are big enough to be on a chain...... I have 5 pups from 10wks to 5mths in there now with plenty of room to run and play, probly the best couple hundred ive spent in regards to my dogs. I can throw the pups in a 10x10 off the ground kennel within the pen and drop a hog into the pen to let the bigger young dogs work a bit and the puppies are right in the action but safe.....i think its gonna work out good for em in the future.

Damn good idea justin, kevin, the 20x80 is a lil to big for me, but it would work for my small needs.
