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 🤙🏽🫡
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.
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.
Thanks for the comment. During summer months, I use floor fans to dry floors and for the dogs' comfort. The only occasion that my kennel floors remain damp is when our humidity is high due to passing rainy weather. Even upon these occasions, concrete floors dry quickly so dampness is not a problem in my kennel setup.
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.
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...
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!
I really appreciate your compliments. Let me know if I can offer additional suggestions on your kennel in the future. Thanks again and appreciate your view of my video.
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..
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!
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!!!
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.
Sorry for typos. One last thing. Dogs can dig n get out under the fencing. Cheaper option is to set fence in 16x16 concrete blocks or burry ur fence n lay concrete over it. May sure to have 9 gauge Chainlink cz if they tear it will be hard to replace burried fencing. If ur going to house bully breeds extra material for safety n precautions required.
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?
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...
These dogs are exercised daily and are allowed out of their kennels daily, so they have plenty of outside activities in sunshine. I appreciate your comment and concern.
@@NREmsstate I was just mentioning it because I have 2 family members that had new kennels that had to make expensive changes when the sunshine rule came into play. I watched your video because you're doing an awesome job and what's not just best for you, but for these awesome dogs as well. Thank you.
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
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'.
Roof is over all the kennel for rain protection, but my shop portion is about a quarter of the entire slab size. This latter shop dimension can be to your personal preference. A whelping room in shop would be useful. I don't have this, but would be a nice attribute if you plan on having litters.
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.
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
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.
bigal25938 In the winter it will get below freezing, but for the most part it doesn't get too cold in Mississippi. There are shut off valves at the kennel to drain the water lines for those really cold nights.
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(?)
Remember, working dogs are bred to be outdoors and have good temperature tolerances. In the summer it looks like he uses evaporative cooling from washing down the concrete, ceiling fans to circulate air, hard roof to protect from direct sun and radiant heat. Based on his accent and surroundings I figure he's in the south. For heat in the winter he probably puts blankets in the dog houses. They are raised off the ground, so that takes away from some of the thermal loss from sleeping on the ground, and the metal roof raises the temperature from the sunshine in the kennel area. The concrete will heat up some during the day providing thermal mass heating at night. Some good tree coverage and the leaves provide extra shade in the summer, but the leaves fall in the winter giving more sun access to the metal roof.
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.
none ya The dogs are all on a monthly preventative to keep them healthy. The waste is washed out daily, so it doesn't build up. Rodents are an issue. Dr. Jones has several kill traps for the mice. Don't leave your food exposed, put it in sealed containers.

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.
Just high enough to allow you to wash out under barrel and your dog can still easily jump into barrel. Barrels are not wired to fence - only hung with poly-wrapped cables from top bar on the fence panel. Barrels remain in place hanging in this fashion.
The comments on here are ridicules, it's pretty obvious to me most these people on here live in the city and have no clue about life outside of the city. This guy did an amazing job and his dogs are his life. He spent a-lot of money to house those dogs, most people just have a typical dog kennel for outside dogs with no shade, no roof and no way to easily 100% clean out their kennel. These dogs will live a very happy life. I would maybe change the setup in 2 ways and he could easily do it, he spends a little too much time having to bend over to install the hose to the spicket every day. I'd add an over head hose that is always connected but yet off the ground similar to a typical car wash with a hose that can easily be moved about the area using an pivot arm. The 2nd thing i'd add is mister system along the roof line for hot days.
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
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.
I am not certain of his measurements. But you should take a measurement of the area you plan to use and divide them up evenly. And then consider if you want a walk way between kennels with a separate gate to make sure they don't get loose if they get out the first gate (like seen in the video). So I would imagine a good 5-6ft height with a width of your choice(depends on your space really) but a good 5-10ft width will do great. I would recommend 5ft width and length as the minimum and go up from there for medium sized dogs. So that is like 6H x 5W x 5L will be a pretty good size. Another method you can try is to measure your dog's length and double that for the width / length of the kennel and make the height 5-6ft. That would give you a decent sized box kennel. If you want one more of a rectangle in length then do 6H X 5W X 8L. Hope that helps. If its confusing let me know ;)
I feed primarily ProPlan - Purina that has 30% protein and 20% fat content. To give them extra treat on occasion I mix wet canned food with ProPlan which the dogs enjoy this mixture of foods after field outings or in summer to stimulate their appetites.
Still clean daily in the winter. Snow is rare in Mississippi. We really only get a good snow that sticks every few years. It gets cold occasionally, but with the hay in the barrels, they make it fine. There is a shut off at the kennel for the few days it gets below freezing so that the lines don't freeze.
Each of my individual kennel spaces is 5"X10" which is plenty adequate. Sizes larger or somewhat smaller work as well. I think the key is to get your animal out of his or her kennel daily to allow them time to bathroom and blow off steam, plus for training and interaction with the dog. My dogs like their kennels and enjoy laying on the concrete floor that are cooler in summer months. Getting the dogs out of their kennels often is enjoyable for them and freely go back into their pens when time to put them back in kennels.
Greg Brady ...Only the ones that don’t make it..Most shelters sell dogs to game dog (fighting dogs) breeders. To be use and killed by fighting dogs. Excellent way to train and build up confidence...Allegedly!!!
Each dog has name-plated collar for identification and clipping lead, plus a Seresto collar for fleas and ticks prevention. Only time I would add a 3rd collar would be a Garmin collar for tracking the dog while working in the field. Thanks for viewing and your interest.
These are 55 gallon plastic barrels. I like plastic ones since they are easy to clean or wipe out if needed. Wood barrels would probably work too but wood can absorb water, plus are often heavy - features that you want to avoid.
That can be a draw-back to plastic barrels or houses for your dogs in my opinion. I'm in Mississippi and the houses are warm in winter with good bedding and cooler in summer. Another issue with my barrels hung off the concrete floor for my younger dogs is that air can circulate under the barrels - which is good in summertime; but can be cold for wintertime so I make sure to keep good warm bedding in houses during winter. If you do this, also check for condensation during winter causing your bedding next to the house wall to become damp. But, overall I like the plastic houses and barrels for gun dogs. Much easier for me to clean and to move around if needed.
What I did was drill two larger holes in the top of each barrel and passed a threaded eye bolt through the hole. Next, the threaded portion of bolt is passed through pre-drilled holes in a 1" thickness 1.5 foot long board inside the barrel that I've cut to fit top of barrel. I attached larger washers followed by nuts to the threaded eyelet bolt inside the barrel. Once tightened up securely, I attached poly coated steels cables to the eyelets with the other end of the poly coated cable is secured to the top metal pipe run of the pen. Hence, the barrel will hang off the concrete floor. I re-tighten all nuts from time to time to keep secure. Dogs love these barrels. If you'd like to discuss, send me a email where we can communicate or share a phone number via email. I'm happy to follow up with you.
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

Happy hunting.
If you add poly to the floors it's easier too

You have put more thought in your personal kennels then I have seen with some shelters do.
this is one of the nicest set ups
Excellent kennels facility. Congratulations!
great setup in my opinion . good job
These dogs probably treated better then many dogs that live in doors.
Sitten Low Bullys probably ... i know for sure they do lol

How do you keep them warm in the winter??? I don't understand why its open to the air.
wish you would make another video and show exactly how you hung up the dog house inside the kennel

Question, does the barrels you use, are these removable style lids or one piece style plastic water barrels? 55 gallons i imagine?
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
Wow great set up
Thật tuyệt ! Rất khoa học. Cảm ơn vì sự chia sẻ !
Nicely done brother lol you did good
Wonderful ideas man
Nice,would love to have his setup.
Once I get my own place diffentlywlike this set up live that life style
this is great, I like it, I would include a digester to generate methane gas as a return on the kibble cost.
Good job sir...you are perfect
I recommend you add to the floor like a pallet floor to where the dogs won't have to stand in their urine
Carter Ridge that's why he said the floor is sloped on angled and not flat.
How thick did you pour the slab
that is a sweet setup man
I was wondering if you have any problems getting dogs to figure out the automatic water system?
They figure it out after you show them by pressing the trigger. Never had any problem with any new dog not being able to figure it out.
NREmsstate thank u so much for your help!
This is awesome! I only have one dog but I mean 💁🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️😂

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.

He spent a-lot of money to house those dogs, most people just have a typical dog kennel for outside dogs with no shade, no roof and no way to easily 100% clean out their kennel. These dogs will live a very happy life. I would maybe change the setup in 2 ways and he could easily do it, he spends a little too much time having to bend over to install the hose to the spicket every day. I'd add an over head hose that is always connected but yet off the ground similar to a typical car wash with a hose that can easily be moved about the area using an pivot arm. The 2nd thing i'd add is mister system along the roof line for hot days.
Lol assuming people live in the city and have no idea about country life
This is Amazing!
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
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.
Top notch!
I wanna see the barrel as a dog house
What is the measurement used for each kennel?
I am not certain of his measurements. But you should take a measurement of the area you plan to use and divide them up evenly. And then consider if you want a walk way between kennels with a separate gate to make sure they don't get loose if they get out the first gate (like seen in the video).
So I would imagine a good 5-6ft height with a width of your choice(depends on your space really) but a good 5-10ft width will do great. I would recommend 5ft width and length as the minimum and go up from there for medium sized dogs. So that is like 6H x 5W x 5L will be a pretty good size. Another method you can try is to measure your dog's length and double that for the width / length of the kennel and make the height 5-6ft. That would give you a decent sized box kennel. If you want one more of a rectangle in length then do 6H X 5W X 8L.
Hope that helps. If its confusing let me know ;)
A "typical" kennel stall is 5 feet wide by 10 feet long and 6 feet tall.
Alot of negative comments on here good job sir kennel looks good iam making something the same for my bullys
Did you guys not see the lams And beneful
Pretty dang nice brother
What are you currently feeding your dogs?
I feed primarily ProPlan - Purina that has 30% protein and 20% fat content. To give them extra treat on occasion I mix wet canned food with ProPlan which the dogs enjoy this mixture of foods after field outings or in summer to stimulate their appetites.
how is winter, do the dogs stay in kennels in snow? do you clean daily with water in winter.? thx.
Still clean daily in the winter. Snow is rare in Mississippi. We really only get a good snow that sticks every few years. It gets cold occasionally, but with the hay in the barrels, they make it fine. There is a shut off at the kennel for the few days it gets below freezing so that the lines don't freeze.
What size are your kennels
Nice
Each of my individual kennel spaces is 5"X10" which is plenty adequate. Sizes larger or somewhat smaller work as well. I think the key is to get your animal out of his or her kennel daily to allow them time to bathroom and blow off steam, plus for training and interaction with the dog. My dogs like their kennels and enjoy laying on the concrete floor that are cooler in summer months. Getting the dogs out of their kennels often is enjoyable for them and freely go back into their pens when time to put them back in kennels.
Hi . Can you kindly share the architectural plan to your kennel?
I did not have any architectural plans - just worked with construction guy on pouring concrete slab and constructing the kennel top and the shop.
Nice set up im a steal your your drain idea
Very nice man
Awesome setup...The 181 dislike came from people who hate dogs...
Or hate breeders
Greg Brady ... you don’t like breeders?
@@mokush4me412 breeders make money off selling animals. So no I don't. Did you know 1-2k dogs are killed each day in shelters?
Greg Brady ...Only the ones that don’t make it..Most shelters sell dogs to game dog (fighting dogs) breeders. To be use and killed by fighting dogs. Excellent way to train and build up confidence...Allegedly!!!
@@mokush4me412 no they don't have enough space. Wtf are you even talking about?
What size is your kennel?
thank you for your video
Informative,but why 3 collars on the dogs,did not look comfortable.
Each dog has name-plated collar for identification and clipping lead, plus a Seresto collar for fleas and ticks prevention. Only time I would add a 3rd collar would be a Garmin collar for tracking the dog while working in the field. Thanks for viewing and your interest.
How many liters ur barrel have?
These are 55 gallon plastic barrels. I like plastic ones since they are easy to clean or wipe out if needed. Wood barrels would probably work too but wood can absorb water, plus are often heavy - features that you want to avoid.
Plastic dog houses yes or no?
I mean, are they cold in the winter?
That can be a draw-back to plastic barrels or houses for your dogs in my opinion. I'm in Mississippi and the houses are warm in winter with good bedding and cooler in summer. Another issue with my barrels hung off the concrete floor for my younger dogs is that air can circulate under the barrels - which is good in summertime; but can be cold for wintertime so I make sure to keep good warm bedding in houses during winter. If you do this, also check for condensation during winter causing your bedding next to the house wall to become damp. But, overall I like the plastic houses and barrels for gun dogs. Much easier for me to clean and to move around if needed.
how'd he hang the barrel?
What I did was drill two larger holes in the top of each barrel and passed a threaded eye bolt through the hole. Next, the threaded portion of bolt is passed through pre-drilled holes in a 1" thickness 1.5 foot long board inside the barrel that I've cut to fit top of barrel. I attached larger washers followed by nuts to the threaded eyelet bolt inside the barrel. Once tightened up securely, I attached poly coated steels cables to the eyelets with the other end of the poly coated cable is secured to the top metal pipe run of the pen. Hence, the barrel will hang off the concrete floor. I re-tighten all nuts from time to time to keep secure. Dogs love these barrels. If you'd like to discuss, send me a email where we can communicate or share a phone number via email. I'm happy to follow up with you.
bruh 8:16 - 8:25 you can tell this guy is about that life, ahahahahhaha, thats one thick ass accent
