Starting A Dog Kennel…….?
Filed under Care & Training Q&As
In the future when I have my own house I will be building a kennel where my border collies, australian shepherds, and papillons will be staying.
1. How much did it cost you to build a kennel?
2. How long did it take?
3. Do you have any pictures?
4. Do you know a site where I can get some ideas or a design?
5. Do you have any suggestions?
Right now I live with my parents and all the dogs live inside. I only breed and show papillons right now, but later i hope to add aussies and BC’s. Do you think it would be a good idea to build three different kennels for each breed? What about a training building or something to hold obedience and conformation classes in?

the cost between building one now and maybe 10 yr from now would vary greatly. Before you even start to think about a kennel you should study everything you can on the dogs you intend to raise. Most breeders only have one or 2 breeds. it is hard to manage with more. Find a local show breeder that will help answer some of your questions and maybe let you work for them some. See how they are set up. I would start with the paps since you are familiar with them and have some experience in the ring. I wish you the best of luck!
