• Excerpt from Your Dog and Your Cat, How to Care for Them: A Treatise on the Care of the Dog and Cat in the HomeDog House. - For the dog kept out of doors a kennel in which he can sleep and seek shelter from the storms and cold is very desirable. He will be much healthier if accustomed to this exposure. If he is intended to watch the premises he will be of greater value when he is outside, where he can more quickly detect the presence of strangers. The kennel should be as small as possible to accommodate him comfortably, so that when the weather is cold or damp the heat generated from his body will be sufficient to warm the quarters. It should be built of wood, as stone or cement are too cold, and should be so constructed that it may easily be Cleaned. When it is not necessary that the kennel be more than four feet high, the roof can be made to lift off, in order to facilitate cleaning. If it is desirable to have it higher, a door can be constructed in one end. In either case a small door should be made for the dog's use, only large enough to permit his passage. This may be protected by a curtain of heavy cloth or by a door suspended on hinges or straps, in such a manner as to allow it to swing in either direction, so that it will remain closed at all times when the weather is cold, but can be fastened open when warm. The floor should be at least three inches from the ground and slant slightly to the front so that water will drain off.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
