Building a Kennel for the Hounds

There are many types of kennels and many way to construct them. The most important thing to remember is that it works for you and keeps the hounds safe.
In this video I'm adding an additional kennel to my property and I decided to bring you along to show you what works for me and my plot hounds.
I have learned many does and don't over the years and I will share them.

He is now ready to share his experience and knowledge through a series of videos which will include hound training tutorials, actual live hunts, and stories from the past.

We really enjoy your videos Mr. Sam. I hunt down here in south Alabama down around Mobile Alabama we enjoy running white tale Deer from November 21 of each year until January 15. I run full blooded July hounds And running walkers. After season we keep our dogs in shape during the off season by running coyotes and foxes sometimes in the pens and sometimes out free rain in hunting club. Keep the videos coming Mr Sam. Me and my Grandson really enjoy them.

Really nice. I was considering building off the ground kennels use the poultry flooring. By the way I think Ranger needs to come live with me in sw Virginia.

[@RedDeckMarine]

Thank you very much for the time you took to make and post this video. I'm just over in New Hampshire and I've never had outdoor dogs before. I was hoping you could share with me in more detail the dimensions to the shed and the concrete pad. If I were to run two females and a male (West Siberian laika) what size shed would you recommend and what size run would you recommend it's a husky size dog. Your feedback would be much appreciated thank you very much.

I find your passion for the outdoors and your hounds commendable and envious. However, Maine does get cold during the winter. If you keep your hounds out in the kennel during winter, how do you keep the water from freezing within the bucket? Do you make different accommodations? Also, during the winter doesn't the urine freeze on the slab before it drains? Especially when there is snow, do you shovel the dung as well with the snow? Forgive me for my ignorance.

[@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705]

They come inside when it’s cold

[@bryansaltsman6947]

Is the full slab runs only for ease of maintenance and cleaning or is it for other reasons as well?

[@johnthacker5171]

Nice setup concrete easy to clean but I don’t raise pups on concrete hard on feet and legs.once grown thier fine

[@donleckrone6448]

I e never had a problem with young dogs on cement. Maybe it's genetics

[@shadyhamster4473]

Hi

[@Kyleds8]

Hi Sam, bout to build my kennel and wondering, what's the rational for the dog bo tops opening towards you?\

[@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705]

Either way wouldn’t make a big difference.

[@wildercreekhoney]

Did you build your own sheds or did you buy them prefab?

[@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705]

Bought them

[@legosandcards518]

Do you sell puppys

[@houndhuntingbearandbobcatw4705]

No sorry
