if your dog(s) are not spayed/neutered, be careful if you choose a kennel and research it well, references and all. a lady that works with my mom has a small breed dog had him kenneled for 4days. she came back and he would not do anything, just lay around, the lady who ran the kennel said " oh he has been fine all day and has been eating, so i don't know why he is like that". she ended up taking him to the vet and was told that he had been bred to exhaustion!!! the lady who owned the kennel had females several of which happened to be in heat and took him home and bred him the whole time she was gone......
