Basic requirements:
It should be adapted to local conditions, economical and practical, not only considering the life of the dog, but also easy to manage. The construction of the kennel should try to choose a place with a quiet environment, flat terrain, and dry soil. It requires sufficient light, air circulation, warm in winter and cool in summer, moisture-proof and drainage, strong and safe. The kennel should be far away from toilets, garbage dumps, sewage pits, livestock farms, chemical plants, slaughterhouses, leather factories, cold storages and other places with serious pollution and prone to infectious diseases.
Generally, as long as there are windows, air circulation and thermal insulation house, it can be used as a kennel after a little modification. It would be even better if you choose a hillside that is leeward and sunny. The building materials of the kennel are best made of bricks, tiles and cement structures, and the doors and windows are made of steel and wood, which is strong and safe, prevents dogs from biting and is easy to clean.
Production process:
Find an old cushion and take the filling For cotton, the market sells this kind of cotton. It costs 8 to 10 yuan a catty, and you can make a lot of it~
Prepare two pieces of cloth, the same or different, about half a meter wide , Old clothes are also okay~, the size of the cloth can be prepared according to the needs.
I took the largest basin at home and drew an inner circle first, but it’s okay if it’s still a little small, and then I found a piece of cardboard and extended it along the edge of the circle for a suitable distance, released a certain size, and positioned a few more Connect the dots to make a circle
After drawing a big circle, it is time to cut it and remember that it is two pieces of cloth together If you are afraid of cutting it, simply sew it to position
Fold the two cut pieces of cloth into sixteen parts and press the edge Make the imprint for later sewing and cut out a cardboard with the same size as the inner circle
Then start sewing, first The steps to sew the inner circle are: first sew about half of the inner circle according to the line drawn in the inner circle, then stuff the cardboard in and continue to sew to three quarters, the specific amount of stuffing cotton to sew is up to personal preference
There are still 16 lines to sew on the outside of the inner circle. After sewing, it will become 16 small pockets. If you find it troublesome, don’t Need to sew 16 pockets, just fill them directly. When stuffing cotton inside, it will stand up naturally. When sewing, tighten the thread a little bit and then adjust the shape, it will be very beautiful. Here, it is hand-sewn Yes, so for a single row, you can arch a row with a larger needle angle, and then go back and arch another row, so that it will become a red thread like a sewing machine.
Kennels can be roughly divided into two types: one is a group kennel, and the other is a single kennel kennel.
Group kennels should be divided into several groups according to the size of the area. This kind of kennel is suitable for raising puppies, female dogs and spare dogs. Its advantage is that dogs can carry out sufficient activities in the kennel, and it is more convenient to manage. Bite occurs. Generally, 7 to 8 dogs are suitable for group breeding.
Adult dogs should have one litter, which is a single litter. It is generally more suitable for pregnant, childbirth and lactating bitches or male dogs who have reserved breeding. In order to save materials, several kennels can be connected together to build. It can also be kept on a tether, with one rope and one stake for each dog. The piles are preferably made of No. 10 round steel or iron rods, with a distance of 1.5 meters between each pile and a height of 60 centimeters.
The kennel should maintain air circulation and a suitable temperature. When the weather suddenly heats up, open the doors and windows to ventilate and cool down the room. When the weather turns cold or the wind is strong, the doors and windows should be closed. In winter, it should be covered with straw mats to keep out the cold and keep warm. It is best to plant trees around the kennel in order to play the role of greening, enjoying the shade and changing the environment. Keep the inside and outside of the kennel clean, and remove feces and dirt at any time. When the winter is cold, the ice and snow in the kennel should be removed in time to keep the ground dry.
There must be certain equipment and utensils in the kennel, as well as a dog bed. The dog bed is paved with wooden boards, which can keep the dog’s body clean, avoid moisture, and reduce the occurrence of skin diseases. In winter, the dog bed should be covered with grass to keep warm. The sweat glands of dogs are very underdeveloped, and the excess heat in the body is not easy to discharge, so there must be a bath on the site of the kennel. The baths can be divided into two types: one is a sand bath, which is covered with sand and sprinkled with water. Water bath, let the dog swim in the pool, cool down, wash the dirt. A corresponding number of food utensils, such as food troughs and water basins, should also be set up in the kennel.
