Just wondering if anyone has a Dog Den 2 by K-9 kondo and what they think of them. They are advertised as the warmest dog houses on the market, and there is an opional heater. I'll need something warm enough for a shorthair in Canadian winters...I know it's sept and still warm but I'm killing time waiting for my shorthair by designing his Kennel Run and Doghouse. I was thinking of building my own doghouse until I came across the K-9 condo website...they look pretty good.
I work shifts and my girlfriend works straight days so between the two of us he will be on his own in the Kennel only 5 days a month...when we are home he'll be inside with us. I'm planning on a 10'x10'x6' chain link kennel with roof on a gravel pad.
Any suggestions...

Well, for what it is worth my opinion would be to purchase a good quality crate . The dog will get used to being in his crate at all hours and looks at it as his home and den space. The kennel idea is ok if you do not have a fenced yard and would put him in it for short periods. I just like having my bird dogs in the house, we have two Gordons and a Weim indoors. When we are at work they stay in the crates. Dogs just seem to pick up more when they are with you all the time. Again thats just my opinion.SDGORD

sdgord,
I will have a crate for when he is inside, but on those 5 days he will be on his own for 10 hrs... I don't think a dog should be in a crate that long and I couldn't expect him to hold it that long. Atleast with the kennel he can do his business and walk around abit. Thats why I'm going with an outdoor Kennel Run.
