My Kennel
My Dogs Always Have Shelter
During Severe Weather, Every Dog Goes in a Crate Inside
Each Kennel is at least 225 Square Feet

I am very proud of my kennels. Each kennel has 2-4 dogs in it and is 225 square feet. (My Presa Canarios have runs that are much larger, more like the size of a normal back yard.) In times of severe weather, I bring each dog in and put them in a crate until the weather clears. Never are they left outside if I could not tolerate to be outside. Rain is not a big deal since most of the kennels are under roof. Freezing cold and high winds are the only thing that worries me. This is why I bring them all in when trouble is possible. They hate being in crates, but it is only for a short period of time.
The reason I am showing you my kennels is because if you purchase a puppy from someone, you should know how the adults are housed. Many breeders advertise that their puppies are raised in the home or under home raised loving conditions. Of course they are raised in the home! Who would leave puppies outside in cold or hot weather? Puppies cannot maintain their own body temperature until they are 10 days old. Breeders would be insane not to raise the puppies inside. In other words, if a breeder advertises that their puppies are raised in the home, big deal! They are probably trying to mask the fact that their adults are abused. I would ask whoever you are considering buying a puppy from to see the conditions of the adults. I would ask to see where they live. If they say they all live in the house and the breeder has more than 5 dogs, I would most likely assume that the dogs live in crates most of their lives. This is extremely abusive to the dogs who need to exercise to be happy. Keeping them in crates, is a sick thing to do. People that do this need to be in jail in my opinion since they keep their dogs in jail. Do not think this is uncommon. It is very expensive to build kennels like mine, and many breeders do not spend the money. It is easier and cheaper to crate them. Some people may have 40 dogs running all around their homes, but who knows who is breeding to who and how can they all run around when the people are not home? I have been to several breeding facilities and only a handful have impressed me. Dozens have appaled me and made me lose sleep.
