How to Build Your Beauceron a House: Size
1. You should begin your dog house building process by making sure the house is big enough to accommodate your Beauceron’s potential adult size. We enjoy having approximately 2 feet of air above us in a room to live without feeling claustrophobic. The Beauceron will probably also enjoy having that much room. The comfort zone for both people and Beaucerons is about 33% of their standing height. To calculate how much room the Beauceron will need get a tape measure and measure your Beauceron. Measure him standing straight up, resting on his haunches and especially measure the full dimension of the Beauceron when he is in the most comfortable, relaxed and stretched out position he can get into. Your Beauceron should be able to look out the front door while both standing up and sitting. So the Beauceron won’t have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his stomach, make sure that entrance is tall enough. Stand over the Beauceron and measure the breadth of the broadest point of the Beauceron’s shoulders.

2. Remember to raise the dog house several inches from the ground to allow air and water to flow underneath. To discourage pests from invading the house, and taking your Beauceron’s health into consideration, remember how important air circulation is. Install a few nickel-sized holes in the panels below the eaves. Put a wind block inside the dog house so the Beauceron can use the heat of its own body to warm the area if it is really cold or breezy outside. Consider adding a partial wall which will permit your Beauceron to escape the inclement weather. Your animal can choose to just snooze in the front room or go around the inner archway maze wall into the inner sanctum. Your beloved Beauceron would probably appreciate having a pillow or some sort of pallet to sleep on.

4. In America most storms come from the south and west so ensure the dog house faces a different direction. Most house blueprints recommend that the house door faces east. The cold air won’t be able to rush through the entryway then.
