The American Beagler Forum

I am going to be getting 1 or 2 pups to go along with my other 3 beagles and am going to build new kennels. But I don't know if I'm going to purchase 2 chain link kennels or build above ground.

I am wondering if I build two above gound kennels 8' x 10', if this will be big enough to house 3 dogs in 1 and 2 in 1.

If not then what size to build.

If I purchase premade kennels, they will either be 2 10'x10' or 2 7.5'x13'.

Any help with ideals will be appreciated.

Steven, I have chain link kennels,10x12,attached to the side of my shed. The dog houses are inside under my work benches and they get in through swinging doors that help keep winter out. Watch classified ads, you can usually pick them up reasonably but make sure to go with 6 foot panels for the climbers and lay down welded wire for the diggers! I have about 4" of pea gravel on top of the welded wire until I can afford concrete. Hope that helps. Dave
