The Kennel...

Yard Overview Welcome to our Kennel! Our 14 dogs live on stake outs in our close to acre enclosure. They run 3 times a day as a pack. All of our dogs can run together, we don't allow them to not get along with one another. We find this system works very well for us as any of our dogs can run next to, in front of, behind any other dog on the team. This is crutial to us as we feel it's part of team safety. When the girls come in heat they have their own 'heat' pen away from the rest of the dogs. Keeps the boys more quiet and us sane! :) (coming soon) (coming soon)

The Main Yard We used to have kennels, but recently switched to stake outs. We prefer the stake outs now over the kennels. The dogs seem to like to be able to look around without seeing chainlink (us too!), they really seem to enjoy having their own space, and it's nice to be able to go through the yard and sit with each dog, we feel they have more one on one time this way. Our stake outs are set in the woods, providing plenty of shade. We used a sand base for the floor, which we think is much more comfortable and easy on their bones and joints than concrete. We know that our backs and joints are sore after standing on concrete all day at dog shows! Our stake outs are set up off the ground so the dogs are not dragging their chains, and each dog house has legs to keep it dry and up out of the mud on those rainy days. We also find the stake outs are much cleaner in the winter when we can't hose out. Plus no shoveling doors anymore! Dogs eating breakfast on their houses Winter 2006

The Puppy Yard Our puppies are raised in a 15 by 25 foot sand floor kennel. We try and keep our puppies minds busy by giving them plenty of 'things' to play with, like a A Frame, some logs, nylabones etc. We generally and keep our puppies until they are 10-12 wks. We have also started 'Free Running' our litters, not only do they love it as they get exercise, but it helps us evaluate their movement and helps them bond with us. Puppy Kennel Puppy Kennel
