Gun Dog Forum

I need to replace my current kennels. I'm looking at the Mason "Top Dog" line, does anyone have any experience with these?
or
Maybe there is a better option? Any ideas and Pics would be great!

Thanks in advance,

I really like these... http://www.tkproductsllc.com/index.html

I've got the Priefert Kennels, powder coated to last a life time. Easy add ons as you need them. A bit on the pricey side but then what isn't? www.Priefert Kennels.com I've got a 3 stall setup and am down to one dog----Give me a call 715-545-2279---I'm up in Phelps

All five of my kennels are Pro-Built along with 3 of my dog houses. Small, family owned business, very friendly and knowledgeable about your kennel needs. Lots of different options as far as kennels.

Just some more food for thought.

Any contact info on these kennels would be appreciated. Thanks

I've been eye balling these. http://www.probuiltproducts.com/

Sorry I didn't post a link but I see that it is already posted above.

Thank you for the info. I looked at the site and like what I saw.

Super nice person and it's a very small shop located just outside of KC. I highly recommend them not only because I've been very pleased with the product but also you support the little guy buying his stuff.

I will check them out. I like to buy local and it looks like a quality product. Gives the small businesses a chance. Also I can look at products first hand. Thanks

After I decided not to build my own I went with the tk product.

I was just about to pull the trigger on chain-link. I'm looking at TK how are they to deal with after the sale, during, etc.

Thanks

I know Dave TerHaar (61six 403-346nine) the owner and he is a great guy - successful field trialer as well. Took my calls/emails and answered promptly. Ordered my runs through his rep in IL - Richard Wyatt (EngSetter@aol.com). Delivery was handled very well, all in order. I LOVE the fact that these kennels have no exposed wires and all square. All are hot dip galvanized after welding.

I've bought Pro built from KC as well - good service, nice product. The boxes are very nice, insulated and you can buy door flaps for the winter as well.

Sorry to kind of Hi-jack this post but, looking at the TK indoor 4x5 kennels. I see that the walls are tin on the side of his kennel similar to what my shop has. I was thinking of putting indoor runs in my shop so that the dogs can come in and out.

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea how the openings are done. It looks like the openings on his photo are bordered with something but its tough to tell what it is. I guess a person could put a piece of flat, galvanized metal around the opening to make it a flat surface on the outside for the doors to seal tight when closed.

The TK products look nice as well by the way.

I did go with TK products kennels. Very good people to deal with.

Now I need to order Dog houses. Barrels arent warm enough for Iowa winter, K9 Kondo doesnt last, 2 yrs and mine are about shot.

I'm looking at Deer Creek "Cube" does anybody have any history with these?

Thanks,

I have several of the cube houses. I like them but see one weak area with one of my dogs. The aluminum angle they use on the exterior corners is so thin until they can pull and chew it if they try hard. I had read they will replace any part that a dog chews but I have not called yet. On mine, it's inly the bottom 1 to 2" of the material they can get to on the front side of the house.

How long have you had them?
