Bean,
Picture of my kennel built on concrete with pup pens on the end. Runs are 4x8 with houses on the outside of the wire. Easy to clean up and wash out.
Picture was taken in Rhinelander, Wisc in March of 99. My friend is on the left and me on the right. I have 3 of my 6 dogs and he had his three. We ran snowshoes for a week in 3-4 ft of snow. We used shoes but the dogs could run on top of the snow which was icy and hard. I had to use Tuff Pad on their feet because the ice cuts the back of their pads. That is one of many trips Ive made over the years to run snowshoes which is a blast if you like to hear the hounds.
Let me think on it for a couple days but I might be getting out of the dog business because of my health and if I do and you are interested I might just give you dogs ready to go. h.h.
