How to Build Your Canadian Eskimo Dog a House: Size
1. You should begin your house building process by ensuring the house is big enough to fit your Canadian Eskimo Dog’s potential adult size. Humans enjoy having approximately two feet of air above us in a room in order to live without feeling boxed in. Your Canadian Eskimo Dog will probably also enjoy having that much space. The comfort zone for both humans and Canadian Eskimo Dogs is around 1/3 of their standing height. To calculate how much space the Canadian Eskimo Dog will need get out a ruler and measure your Canadian Eskimo Dog. Measure him standing straight up, sitting on his haunches and especially measure the full dimension of the Canadian Eskimo Dog when he is in the most comfortable, relaxed and stretched out position he can get into. Your Canadian Eskimo Dog should be able to peer out the front door when both sitting and standing. So the Canadian Eskimo Dog will not have to significantly lower his front shoulders or drag his stomach, make sure that door is tall enough. Stand over the Canadian Eskimo Dog and measure the breadth of the widest point of the animal’s shoulders.
Building Your Canadian Eskimo Dog a Dog House: Elevation
2. Remember to elevate the house several inches from the ground to permit water and air to flow below. To dissuade pests from invading the house, and taking your Canadian Eskimo Dog’s health into consideration, remember how vital fresh air is. Install a few nickel-sized openings in the walls underneath the eaves. Put a wind block inside the dog house so the Canadian Eskimo Dog can use the heat of its body to heat the area if it is extremely cold or breezy outside. Think about adding a partial panel which will permit your Canadian Eskimo Dog to escape the inclement weather. Your animal can decide to just sleep in the front room or go around the inner archway maze wall into the inner sanctum. Your beloved Canadian Eskimo Dog would probably appreciate having a cushion or some sort of pallet to sleep on.

3. To avoid rain entering the house make the floor just a little bit angled in the direction of the doorway and construct the roof a bit slanted, as well. Ensure the dog house is well insulated but you shouldn’t paint the interior.
4. In the United States most storms come from the south and west so ensure the house is facing a different direction. Most dog house blueprints recommend that the dog house door faces east. The cold air will not be able to whip through the doorway then.
