Not all dogs are the doghouse type not small breeds such as Chihuahuas, toy or miniature poodles, Pekingese, frail dogs, dogs that are accustomed to living indoors.

Before buying or having one made, be sure you have all these requirements. The doghouse must be clean, dry and draft free. The floor should be wood, at least four inches off the ground. Wood over concrete block is fine. Cement floors, on the other hand, can give some breeds calluses on elbows and knees. It should be situated near enough to trees for protection and shade. The roof should be slanted to prevent the accumulation of -rain.

The dimensions of the entire house, however, should be at least twice as long as the dog will be at maturity.
