well, since 99% of the Yorkies here are house dogs I'm sure you won't get alot of responses. Do you have some pictures of the kennels you are considerating? How big is the building your planning on getting? will it be heated or have A/C? I wouldn't put just one dog per run, they need a playmate. and of course the bigger the runs the better. 2 feet wide doesn't seem quit wide enough. My Yorkies are inside dogs but my dachshunds are mainly outside dogs. I don't seperate them.( I have only one male) and they all get along great! They have the whole front yard to themselves, and my husband built a huge doggie hotel for them. It's heated for winter time and has a fan for the summer. My yard is totally shaded. and they have a kiddy pool for summer, some like to get in, and some won't get near it. The only time all the dogs are in the house is during really bad weather. ( snow, freezing weather, storms, etc...) and it's a mad house, when they are!!! You have the right idea for a set up. I would just make the runs bigger. |
