| Each area is more than sufficient in size to house four dogs. I don't see too many breeders allowing this much room for their dogs. Even the fancy kennels do not have big areas so they can house more dogs. The size of my building could easily house 100 dogs and is a breeders dream. But I choose to have less than 20 dogs and give them the most space I can. My dogs are pets first and their happiness is most important. I have received huge compliments on my building and the friendly attitude these guys have. |
| Inside My Home |
| Inside my home, each momma is given their own playpen about 5 days before they are due. This way they can get comfortable and make the area "home" before the babies arrive. Most of the time the playpens are in my bedroom til the puppies reach 4-6 wks old. And then the puppies are moved to the living room for the my children to start socializing and the puppies can get use to everyday sounds. |
| The Two Momma Areas These areas are for nursing moms or puppies that are too young to go outside. |
| The Puppy Area Here each older puppy will learn to use the doggie door and learn what behavior is expected inside and what is SUPPOSE to stay outside. :) Puppies usually don't graduate this area til they are 6 mos old or can keep up with the bigger kids. |
| We are still under construction, but would like to show the progress that is steadily being made inside my building to improve the lives of each one of my dogs. |
| Areas 1,2,3 These areas will house up to four dogs in each area. There is plenty of room for each dog to live comfortably. Dogs are placed in each area according to size, age, and dominance so that they all live together as happy roommates. I don't want the older dogs living with younger dogs or the bigger babies living with the smaller ones since they wouldn't be compatible. This is the reason for adding two more areas. |
| Outside Areas 1, 2, 3 My husband worked for two weeks to make this beautiful environment for my babies. He done a wonderful job!! They have a canopy that will come down on the sides to shade them and to keep weather off them. Each run has springs on the doors with locks to keep the intelligent boys from opening the gates. Hubby did a super job! Thanks Honey! |
