Our Kennels have been planned carefully to blend in with our environment,
providing spacious, secure accomodation which is naturally sheltered.
The kennel buildings, set back in a rocky bank, stand on a concrete
base and damp-proof membrane. They are purposefully built low in
order to preserve the body heat of the dogs and also encorporate
a wind break entrance. Thick glass blocks allow daylight to filter
through, although the position of the kennels means that there is
always shade and they are cool in Summer. On the doorsteps are "patios".
Inside, the dogs sleep on a raised wooden platform which can be
easily removed for cleaning. The sloping roofs can be lifted to
further assist in cleaning. In Winter we fill the kennels with an
abundance of fresh straw. There is plenty of room for two dogs to
share each kennel although we also have facilities for complete
isolation.
