Giant Dog House for Giant Labs

Hi Mark,

This is nice build and a very useful project. I am sure that their new digs are the focal point of the neighborhood. Any plans for a pool to go along with the new home? I am sure they would love it. :)

Thanks for the post.

Funny you should joke about the pool. My wife tells me that there’s a company online that sells a bone shaped shallow pool for use as a water feature. The Labs parents are asking about it. We may just put in that pool, yet!

Hi Mark That is a nice looking doghouse. I am sure it will get used a lot. Nice to provide a lot of shade also

Where did you hide the A/C compressor? Must be in the back.

Good job! If my two weren’t so spoiled rotten, I would build a simular house for them. Don’t for get to put a welcome mat out for them to wipe their paws on when they come in from a hard day’s play. :-)

Hi Mark

Great looking dog house. I can see that these dogs are not spoiled! When I had hunting dogs in North Dakota I used to keep the dog house off the ground some. Kept them from having to lay on the cold damp ground. I also insulated the bottom of the house. Thanks for posting.

God Bless

That is one large doghouse. My dogs sleep on the porch.

My dog sleeps in the bedroom, but never on the bed. 125# German Shepherd Dog. We are safe from the bad guys.

How the Labs will pay the mortgage? Biscuits?

You know, my wife makes me sleep in the doghouse once in a while. I wouldn’t mid so much if it looked like yours.
