Bespoke Breeding Kennel

We were very excited when a returning customer requested a bespoke breeding kennel block from us.  The initial phone call enquiry was for a 24ft x 12ft block to have three separate areas that needed to adhere to the new breeding licensing regs.  So we fully lined each 8ft x 12ft section with PVC insulation, along with anti-bacterial phenolic coated flooring to provide a hygienic and easy-clean environment.  Opening windows and 1/3 stable doors were also requested to allow ventilation, and provide added security from potential escapees.  A perfect base for our customer to add in their own whelping boxes and breeding necessities.

• External view of the kennel. Wooden three bay breeding kennel with stable doors, opening window and high quality felt roof.
  



• The 1/3 stable door allows ventilation whilst keeping dogs inside.



• Inside the kennel, we added insulation to keep the area warm in winter and cool in summer. The insulation was then lined with PVC to provide a hygienic, wipe clean surface. The flooring has phenolic coatings which is anti-bacterial and allows easy maintenance.
  



• A fully clad roof using 12mm finished (ex16.5mm) tongue and groove tanalised timber.



• Perspex windows are opened from the inside for added security.



• View from inside looking out. Here you can see the wipe clean flooring, PVC lined insulation and fully clad roof.r>

Bespoke Kennel Block in Wales

An old friend (by this I mean that we have known him for a while, not that he is actually old…) has bought a stunning country home in Wales and came to us to provide a bespoke kennel block-come-cattery for his three Alaskan Malamutes and the Mrs felines.  No word of a lie, the new house looks stunning and I would quite happily write a blog post about country living in Wales – but a dog kennel and cat run will have to do it today!

So here it is.  A four-bay kennel block with extended runs, additional storage room to house the cats and a rear corridor to access the dog pens.  Opting for galvanised dog run panels for the internal sleep areas instead of wooden clad walls, he also upgraded to the galvanised mesh dog run panels for the sleep divides.  The runs were extended to a total length of 13ft, and each sleeping compartment was 5ft x 5ft.  The vast wooden roof was extended over the structure, leaving the front half of the dog runs open.

An impressive build at 30ft x 23ft – I do wonder if maybe our friend is over-compensating???  😉
