Building a House for Your Mudhol Hound: Size
1. You should start your house building process by ensuring the house is large enough to accommodate your Mudhol Hound’s potential mature size. People enjoy having around two feet of air overhead in a room in order to live without feeling claustrophobic. The Mudhol Hound will also enjoy having that much room. The target zone for both people and Mudhol Hounds is about thrity-three percent of their standing height. To calculate how much room the Mudhol Hound will need go get a measuring tape and measure your Mudhol Hound. Measure him standing straight up, resting on his haunches and above all measure the full dimension of the Mudhol Hound when he is in the most stretched out, comfortable, and relaxed position he can get into. Your Mudhol Hound should be able to peer out the front entrance when both standing up and sitting. So the Mudhol Hound won’t have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his belly, make sure that door is high enough. Stand above the Mudhol Hound and measure the width of the broadest point of the Mudhol Hound’s shoulders.

Your animal can choose to just sleep in the front room or go around the inner archway maze wall into the inner sanctum. Your beloved pet would probably appreciate having a pillow or some sort of bedding to sleep on.
