    Two options - there are lots of people around MAKING kennels - look on FB, where are you located - there are pages like SELL YOUR STUFF KILDARE (change the county to yours) etc. Alternatively, get one VERY large kennel - the JRT is small enough that he will squish up happly to his bigger friend, taking up very little room. Pet shops and places like Woodies do kennels.

    Just a comment, dogs who have never used a kennel, OFTEN wont ever go into/use a new kennel! There have been threads on here about people getting kennels that their dogs ignore :D Might be worth your while to see if you can borrow one to see if they will use one before investing in something expensive. Have you got a shed you could leave the door open to, and leave their beds in there? Or rig up some sort of shelter. (Ive got 3 kennels here, that were never used (got for days when they were left outside for a few hours, in case it rained!) - all have been turned into hen coops :eek:)

    Well we have moveed to a house surrounded by farms.. iv built a big enclosure so they are safe in that but like you I want one for incase it starts to rain badly and for the winter aswell.. I never thought of the one massive one.. how big would you reckon?

    also please keep in mind lots of dogs are stolen out of kennels secured or not.
    Every breed. Just be very careful...i'd never leave my dog outside unsupervised. If you do decide you have to install a camera system with 24 hour tape somewhere it can't be disabled.

    If you have built a big enclosure, I would build a sheltered area at one end or corner of it. Step it up, put a bit of insulation in there, leave the front open-ish (as long as prevailing wind isnt in that direction) - I bet you would have more success with them using it, rather than a kennel - the number of unused/ignored kennels must be astronomical! If they do go into the shelter/kennel, it will be to curl up and sleep, so even for 2 dogs, it wouldnt need to be a very big area - in fact the cosier the better...
