I am currently looking into buying MANY acres of land in the country. IF this does happen, one of the things I really want to build inside a large fenced in area (probably stockade style) is 4 sperated dog runs with an attached shelter, seperated and attached to each dog run, that will be temperature controled. The indoor area would be seperated for each run and I would like it warm in the winter and cool in the summer.
I currently own one pit bull and hope to own another one and I might like to take in a foster in the future. I don't want dogs sitting in crates for 11 hours a day while I'm at work and I don't want to have to worry about them being effected by too much cold or heat while they are outside. They would still be in our house at night, of course. This would be for personal use for my dogs, I'm not looking to set up a rescue or kennel.
I may be able to take out some extra money when we set up the payment arrangement for the land, so I want to get a ball park of the cost.
If anyone has pictures of a set up or know a place where I could buy the materials (my man tries to be handy) or even a company that does this kind of stuff, advice would be greatly appreciated!
