Kennel help!!

AWWW! Apparently I don't have the patience I thought I did. So, I am looking for a new dog kennel, and there are a zillion different types and styles, and price ranges. Mesh fence, chain fence, big dog small dog! Grrr.

It's for a outdoor dog, (farm dog) the last kennel we got was just from a local farm and home store there in town and it was the only one to choose from. It has lasted 7years. But this last winter storms and rain storms have beat it down and now little coco (moms dog) can jump right out of the darn thing! The top is all mushed in, and the door is being held shut with a shovel! My mom will put off getting a new one, so I thought I would take it upon myself to by her one.

But what I call a kennel others call a "dog run". Anyone have a website that has good durable kennels? 6x8 foot? Or there abouts? Not sure what I should even be looking for.

This is why I have an INSIDE dog! lol

I find those panels at the farm store are good, but you said you already got one about 7 yrs ago? Was it the galvinized panels? they come in various widths and heights...I think up to 8 ft? I would suggest laying a cement slab down ( what size you want ) and go from there... and put in "posts' in the cement corners to attach the panels too. Just a suggestion....

Talk her into bringing the dog inside.

Edit: Just to add, I realized that might sound curt to you. And, it might also be like my Mom, where saying, "Take better care of your little Shih Tzu" is just as productive as saying, "Drain the Everglades with a good spaghetti colander."
