Housing the Dog 
by Frank T. Carlton 
T HE housing of the family watch-dog 
is one that is often given little spe¬ 
cial thought. It is a mistake to think that 
“anything is good enough for a dog,” es¬ 
pecially if that dog be of more than ordi¬ 
nary value and service. And in all cases, 
humanity dictates that our dumb friends 
have their necessities and creature com¬ 
forts carefully and regularly attended to. 
Soon the cool nights of the late fall, and 
the colder days and nights of winter will 
be here, and it is well to take time by the 
forelock, and in a general way look into 
this question of housing the dog. 
Where several, or many dogs, are 
kept, the problem of housing them is a 
matter calling for much thought, plan¬ 
ning and no little outlay. It means a 
special structure, hygienically appointed 
within, and outside exercise-runs, taking 
in as much ground as can well be spared 
for that purpose. The best permanent 
structures have concrete for the floor, 
walls, roof and runs — (Toy dogs benefit 
most by exercising in grass-runs)—such 
a structure being warm in winter and cool 
in summer. Surface drainage can be 
formed in the flooring when the concrete 
is laid, and proves the best form of drain¬ 
age. Brick and stone form the next best 
materials for the walls, with either slate 
or tile for the roof. Brick and asphalt 
floors are undesirable, the former being 
too porous, and the latter too cold and 
slippery in winter and too hot in summer. 
Lean-to kennel structures, with a 
southern exposure (preferably the doors 
and windows of all kennels should face 
south or southwest) are economical, and 
can generally be made to meet all require¬ 
ments. The smallest exercise run should 
not be less than six feet long by four feet 
wide. 
The one cardinal law of successful 
dog-raising is summed up in “dryness, 
warmth, comfort.” Cold and damp are 
the bane of the kennel-raised dog — a lot 
to which the house-raised pet is, in the 
nature of things, so much exposed. 
The kennel structure, in whatever 
form, should have plenty of cubic air¬ 
space and sunlight. Add to this dry bed¬ 
ding, raised sleeping-benches and regular 
feeding, and a big step toward success has 
been taken. 
So long as proper shelter is afforded 
during the resting hours, the outdoor life 
fits in well with all breeds, without ex¬ 
ception. Care should be taken to examine 
a dog before he is kenneled for the night, 
as he should not be allowed to retire in 
a wet or bedraggled condition — in that 
way lies a string of maladies, not to men¬ 
tion the poor beast's discomfort. 
Regular cleansing (leaving absolutely 
dry) of the sleeping quarters is essential, 
with a free use of some disinfectant. 
Fresh air will hurt no dog, but no dog 
is immune from draughts or damp.
