Dog Pens/Kennels/Runs for APBT/SBT; What''s the best?

I'm looking to move my SBT out of the house, he's starting to stink up the joint and he prefers to be outisde anyway.

I want to know if anyone has any good plans for a pen that I could do for him it'd be much appreciated. I will probably do a second one also for other/future dogs.

I can't do a chain set-up because I have two other dogs (not Bull-breeds) and they have the run of the place, so if I put my dog on a chain, they'd still be able to get to my Staff, who isn't aggressive but I'm preparing for him being an adult or future dogs I might get.

So far, the Tom Garner pen looks like the best, has anyone any other suggestions?

Thanks.

My pup-

 

How does he keep them from digging out? He may have said and I didn't hear it. Also, I reckon you could put a top on it if you had a jumper. Also, for a climber, it would be easy for a dog to climb.

 

I wont use anything but chain sets. Maybe you should think about putting your other dogs on tie outs also. I just think kennels are bad news.

 

If you don't want to build a roof or cement the kennel floor I would put the dog in a chain inside the kennel to prevent escape (making sure he can't hang himself). A 7ft chain in a 10x10 knl would probably suffice to let the dog have access to the furthest corners of the kennel without being able to hang himself.

 

Why tie up The dog in the kennels It is just like tieing him up without the kennel around him

 

Use the search. "escape artist"

 

To keep the other dog from getting to him...

 

LOL, you know Cliff I was going to reply but then I thought naw, why bother, I thought it was a clear as day, but then again not for all.

 

i use the "professional" kennel from tractor supply as you can see in the pic, and wood decking made with pressure treated wood for the floor. my tops are jimmy rigged right now but escape proof.

 

Thanks, JTC.

Prob going to get something made up, or buy something :o

I'll do that Boogie, thanks.

 

be careful with the size of the gaps in the kennel and the space below the kennel if you got dogs running loose . its easy to grab a nose,ear,paw or claw through it

 

if you dont want him to dig out of a kennel and dont have the money for cement use steping stone for the floor or use those rubber squares that the sell at the tractor store and puting a roof on a kennel is cheap to

 

Do the search I suggested. Covers everything

 

Here ya go I did it for you
