Looks like you found a new line of business! Nice!

Very cool but my dog would just look at me and say, Good I hope you’re comfortable in there, now I get the WHOLE bed! :-)

I think people will buy these, just make sure cedar is not poisonous to dogs, wouldn’t want any unforeseen incidents. And removal carpet to clean.

Good grief, what next….

Actually, if I don’t start behaving, I may have to order one of these for me.

Nice, buddy!

Nice! I hope my wife doesn’t see this! Our dog could fit in your squirrel feeder, though.

The first dog seems to be saying, “I hope they don’t put this up on a high post too”. Really a great doghouse.

Let’s see. Birds, dogs, matching houses. What’s next? You aren’t going to make cathouses are you? They’re illegal in some places you know.
The doghouse looks good. Should make the fleas unhappy, they can’t stand cedar.

Looks good, I have to say, but we make a lot of dog houses here at Manoir Kanisha, and the little (and big) beggars chew everything. I would like to see a picture of this after two months use, though it does depend on the age and the breed involved. The little knobby pieces at the ends of the horizontals look particularly attractive to canine incisors. We have tried all sorts of ploys to deter them, usually covering corners with metal protection. This works for a time, but even this can get chewed off, and the dogs can injure themselves. The tin roof shown was also used until we had a dog injure itself on the torn edges. They have teeth like canopeners. We are about to plan a new set of outside kennels for our working breed puppies, with improvements based on several years of trial and error, so I hope later in the spring to give you some development pictures. We have to design our dog houses to protect them from the rigours of the Quebec winters, as well as the heat of summer. I believe this is a whole rich area of Lumberjocking that is ripe for development. Perhaps Mafe has some architectural ideas?

Thanks everyone for all the great comments .
Luckily for me my dogs don,t like chewing wood . I built this doghouse about 13 or 14 years ago and it is holding up well . I always give my dogs rawhide bones to chew on too . I,m sure it it helps but they don,t chew on my furniture ;-)
