thank you for the info.
are there resources where i can look up info. regarding this? i tried google, and it usually just show dog cages for sell.
i am curious because i saw a kennel at a breeders house for the first time last weekend, and i was surprised at first only because i have never seen one before. after thinking more about it. i became really interested to find out what would be an ideal way for a breeder to house so many dogs.
i feel a little bit like kennel is a dirty word or something at this moment since i don't get ppl very willing to share info. with me. and it seems that some reaction i am getting is negative, which i understand, because when i first saw a kennel, i was a little bit uncomfortable. but then i had some time to think about it. i think it's very reasonable for a breeder with so many dogs to have a kennel.
i love dogs, i am not actually considering breeding or building a kennel, i was just hoping to learn about it, and am a little surprised at not being able to hear from more breeders.
i hope more breeders will be willing to share their knowledge, i am currently looking for a puppy, and i have been trying to do everything i was told by ppl and breeder from this forum. but sometimes it's hard to find info. beyond just the very basic.
i was told to "go visit the breeders" and make sure you meet the parents, ...etc.
but nobody said anything about kennels? and what are the things i should look for to make sure everything is looking good.
