I’ve been watching this video for years and now I can say I’m blessed by God to be able to take my passion to the next stage

CANT BELIEVE THIS WAS 8 YEARS AGO.. Thanks for helping me give my dogs the best life I can give em! Hope you’re in good health and doing good bud! God bless thanks 🤙🏽🫡

The man knows what he is talking about when your dogs are easier to care for you enjoy them a whole lot more

Very nice and much consideration put into every aspect of the kennel not only for the owner but also the dogs.

Fantastic Video....I run Double Gun Kennels in Clarksville, TN, I breed German Shorthairs and train for upland and some waterfowl. I've been looking at building my own kennel much like yours. Just retired from the Army after 28 years and while in the Army with Special Operations Command, one of my jobs was to supervise the contractors who build the kennels for the K9 bite dogs and bomb sniffing dogs we use. The trough system with 3-1 fall, your suspended housing to keep anything off the floor, concrete flooring with a camber....all designs being used by special operations command. Just want to commend you on a well built kennel and superb video. Thanks for posting it.

This was a very informative video. You have a great well thought out set up. Your dogs all appear happy and healthy! 🐾❤️🐾

Excellent kennels facility. Congratulations!

great setup in my opinion . good job

I would love one of these kennels , I am getting Ideas ..thanks for posting

Yours is the best dog kennel I have ever seen in my whole life! Clean and nice looking!Wish mine could be that good but I will do my best! Learned a lot from you! Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas, I think its a great set up.

this is one of the nicest set ups

Great job. Its obvious the dogs are happy and well cared for. Some good ideas that are useful as I build my new dog pen in a few days time. I see that you keep the food in metal bins, and I just read that plastic barrels release some toxins, so I am going to change to metal. Thanks for sharing this...

I love your set up sir ,thank u for sharing

Awesome kennel!!

Best video I've seen on this subject. Thank you.

This is awesome, Its so great to see that you have a passion for your craft. Truly an inspiring video !

Thank you for sharing!! Great setup!!

These dogs live better than some people...i love this set up..lucky pups!

Really good video. I don't see why anyone would give it a thumbs down. This is exactly how I had planned to build a kennel with the trough for waste water but I like that he piped it away. I also hadn't planned for a closed in building. I was just thinking about small shed for food, but that would be great for treating or medicating or washing and grooming dogs or for puppies for sale. You can buy used restaurant stainless sinks and prep tables fairly cheap. I also like the elevated barrels. The polished concrete floors are a must as well.

love the set up! wish i had the land to build one like yours !!!

This is one of the best designed kennels and videos I've seen in a long time for a small scale dog owner/hunter. I've seen much bigger more elaborate kennels but this is just about perfect!

Gosh did I enjoy this. Thank you so much for taking the time

Thật tuyệt ! Rất khoa học. Cảm ơn vì sự chia sẻ !

Who ever say he's cruel I'd dumb. Good set up. Those are hunting dogs they need to be outside.

Love you kennel in the process in building a boarding kennel myself great ideas

Great Setup.. I will use some ideas for my kennel....

Nice place. I would suggest you consider adding a floor squeegee, as that was what we used in the kennels in the Military to ensure the floors dried more quickly and the dos did not developed any sores due to the constant wetness. Happy hunting.

You, sir, are amazing.

One of the smartest kennels i have seen. Everything is made out of steel and concrete. Perfect. Great for cleaning, also great for not tapping mold. Meaning. I have seen, some kennels made out of steel, wood and concrete. But the wood will trap moisture, and other chemicals over time, which can be harmful and toxic. Another thing i noticed, fans. Perfect. Ventilation is necessary. A brilliant thing i also noticed is the plastic dog houses and the concrete gutter. This i a very good kennel. I seen many. And this in my opinion, how they should be made, not only for the dogs. But also for great ventilation for those who may be working in one. Remember dogs urine and leave waste, also dog food, accidentally falls on the floor. Some people use cleaning products. But sometimes cleaning products and dog waste can get trapped into wood, and cause others problems. To humans. This kennel is top notch. To me the perfect kennel...very good video..

Love this set up i may use a simular set up as soon i will be getting a few dogs i alreddy have 3 so numbers are going up evry mounth or so thanks for the idear for the set up mate x

Dogs gotta have access to sunshine now

Excellent video thank you for sharing.

Good job sir...you are perfect

Now thats a nice kennel set up my buddy

This is Amazing!

Beautiful just beautiful, just in awe of your kennel. We are in N GA at a rural shelter and trying to create a nonprofit to support this shelter here in Walker Co. Good ole boy politics and 100 dogs inside and out of only 48 runs. If you have any recommendation on building this 501C3 and the future Humane Society that we hope to take over one day we would love to hear from and thank you for being such a responsible pet owner!!!

Man I love your set up, I'm in Mississippi & would love to see it in person if it's possible

damn !! this guy thought of everything

These dogs probably treated better then many dogs that live in doors.

This is kennel goals for me! Will take a bit to get there!

You have put more thought in your personal kennels then I have seen with some shelters do.

I just build a kennel facility n installs pretty much all the guy talked abt except for self waterers. Looking into it rt now. Good piping is a must cz if it breaks there will be a mass leak $$. I coated the concrete inside the building n it's important to cover the walls as dogs can chew electrical thru drywal. I have Porcelan (not ceramic!) tile going 4 ft high around the building. I have welded kennels, 2 panels between each with 1-2" gap in case I need to slide a fight guard in between. Important to include the top of the kennels. I used panels but other kennels u can use wiremash, hog fencing, or Chainlink. I painted my Chainlink black to match the rest. Fans is a must. Dog runs are 8ft high with barb wire on top, some dog runs are covered. Coyotes can climb. There is a snake fence going around my fencing 4ft high that's burried. I have solar lighting in dig runs, but have electrical back up lights. Most important u need heating n cooling system. If I were u I wd get roll-up doors to enclose building during cold weather. U can bye cheap used. My building is fully included n insulated. But Must have heating for winter. Dogs r freezing in open building and even if enclosed.

that is a sweet setup man

Wonderful ideas man

I am from SC and back around 2006 or so we visited a guy that lived near Miss State University, Grenada Lake area, that had this exact same kennel set up. His name was Charles Parker I believe. He raised Fox Hounds which is why we were there to buy some dogs off of him. I wonder if there is an correlation?

Top notch!

Once I get my own place diffentlywlike this set up live that life style

I think it's a great setup and it doesn't hurt the dogs grabbing them by there coller like that people don't purposely do that but when you pull an active dog out of a kennel there jumping and pulling so

Wow great set up

Thanks for the video sir

NICE stuff i just put up a kennel yesterday

love your amazing kennels

Question, does the barrels you use, are these removable style lids or one piece style plastic water barrels? 55 gallons i imagine?

Great job nice

Nicely done brother lol you did good

this is great, I like it, I would include a digester to generate methane gas as a return on the kibble cost.

wish you would make another video and show exactly how you hung up the dog house inside the kennel

thank you for your video

How thick did you pour the slab

Yes - I use wheat straw in my kennel barrels and dog trailer for the reasons you stated. Although, straw gets wet too over time so this is still an issue to address. No perfect bedding that I'm aware. Thanks for comment and for watching video.

How do you keep them warm in the winter??? I don't understand why its open to the air.

Amazing video…I live in the Bahamas and I plan on starting a kennel…any other advice you guys can give for beginners? Dog wise or business wise

Very nice kennels

I don't have a problem with kennels in general but i still feel like a 12 foot chain is better and dogs have more room on chains

Man sum of guys comments are jus ridiculous, if this man didn't care or had plenty of love for his dogs, there is no way in da hell he would spend that kind of money on doing his best to house them...

Nice,would love to have his setup.

I admire your care for your dogs. I would think of using security cameras to monitor your dogs behavior. I would try putting two to a kennel maybe even part time, to reduce anxiety. I would try anti-fatigue mats (harbor freight) for half of each kennel. It may interfere with your wash down process, but I had to mention it. I stumbled on your sight in search "building a dog sanctuary", ie. the ideal environment for dogs. If you ever stop using hunting dogs, I hope you become an a dog professional on the side when your not teaching. Thanks also for the video.

Very nice man

I need a set up just like this. Perfect size. We are raising Labs and it is time get get out of the 10 x 10's on dirt. What size are your kennels? 5x10? How much of your 60' is enclosed. I do need some whelping room. Looks like 12-15'.

How cold does it get where you are? Gets well below zero here for days at a time. Would be hard to hose down then.

I was wondering if you have any problems getting dogs to figure out the automatic water system?

Thank u for the response - but What do you mean by ‘not in the snow’? It looks like an area that has tall trees, true? ...an area that sees 30 degree weather. He says ‘winter’. ...important to have electric for lighting. Never mentions heat(?)

What type of flooring did you use? Thanks

how is winter, do the dogs stay in kennels in snow? do you clean daily with water in winter.? thx.

Very nice.

This is awesome! I only have one dog but I mean 💁🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️😂

May i ask if its okay using ceramic tiles for the floor.. i am working on building mine

What size is your kennel?

Pretty dang nice brother

Inwas in spain last year and every bar and terras had a system wish made a flow of very fine water as a cloud over the terras ,,, would me a good think to make on kennels to

Is the doghouse barrels wired to.the wire.panels an how high.are they off concrete

very good 👌👌👌

I recommend you add to the floor like a pallet floor to where the dogs won't have to stand in their urine

Alot of negative comments on here good job sir kennel looks good iam making something the same for my bullys

How many liters ur barrel have?

I have 4 Rottweilers I was thinking of doing something like this

Did you guys not see the lams And beneful

What kind of concrete sealer did you use for the kennel floor?

What is the measurement used for each kennel?

What size are your kennels

Nice set up im a steal your your drain idea

Sir you have a good working plan. Besides the dog food brand... but I know what it takes to feed dogs especially when you have well over 10+. But the only idea I don't like is tossing the poop into the woods. That will attract fleas and flies etc. closes to your yard. I will just get a 35 gallon bucket and add a large construction bag in it with a lid, and dispose of it with the garbage every week or so.

How to you control disease that are passed through waste like hookworm and roundworm? And keep the mice out of your supply kennel? I ask because I'm looking to build an animal shelter and your design looks great, but the disease issue would definitely be a problem for me.

What are you currently feeding your dogs?

I wouldn't use blankets as bedding for an outside dog. Especially not in the Winter. They will get wet and freeze up. And that will make your animal cold. Straw makes good bedding though.

But he is still doing a good job.

❤

What is de dog breed?

Hi . Can you kindly share the architectural plan to your kennel?
