Building a Dog House for Your Hygenhund

Build a House for Your HygenhundMore than fifty percent of owners permit their Hygenhunds to stay indoors and sleep on their sofa or in the owner’s bed. For those of you all who are wanting to know how to build a dog house for your Hygenhund, here are our easy rules to follow when determining the type of house you want to build for your Hygenhund.

Building Your Hygenhund a Dog House: Size

1. You should begin your house building process by making sure the house is large enough to accommodate your Hygenhund’s potential mature size. As humans, we enjoy having about 2 feet of air overhead in a room in order to live without feeling boxed in. Your Hygenhund will also enjoy having that much room. The target zone for both people and Hygenhunds is approximately a third of their standing height. To figure out how much room the Hygenhund will need go get a ruler and measure your Hygenhund. Measure him standing straight up, resting on his haunches and above all measure the full dimension of the Hygenhund when he is in the most relaxed, comfortable, and stretched out position he can get into. Your Hygenhund should be able to peer out the front entrance when both sitting and standing. So the Hygenhund won’t have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his stomach, make sure that entrance is high enough. Stand above the Hygenhund and measure the width of the widest point of the animal’s shoulders.

2. Remember to raise the house several inches from the ground to permit water and air to flow underneath. To discourage pests from entering the house, and taking your Hygenhund’s health into consideration, remember how vital air circulation is. Install a few nickel-sized holes in the walls underneath the eaves. Put a wind block inside the house so the Hygenhund can use the heat of its body to warm the space if it is very cold or breezy outside. Consider adding a partial panel which will permit your Hygenhund to escape the nasty weather. Your animal can decide to just sleep in the entry room or go around the inner archway maze wall into the inner room. Your beloved pet would probably love having a pillow or some sort of pallet to snooze on.

3. To prevent rain entering the house make the floor just a bit slanted toward the opening and construct the roof a little bit on an angle, as well. Ensure the house is well insulated but you shouldn’t paint the interior.

4. In America most storms come from the west and south so make sure the dog house is facing a different direction. Most house plans suggest that the house doorway faces east. The cold air will not be able to whip through the doorway then.
