OUR FACILITIES
Photos below are of our Illawarra Kennels with their runs . Half of the netting above the dogs is covered with Plywood sheet for heat and weather protection, with the front open for better air flow. The kennels are washed down twice daily to keep everything clean. Shade cloth is stretched over the runs during the heat of summer, to keep the dogs cool.
Pup Run - A fun place to exercise, shade to keep cool,and a kennel to shelter in if the weather becomes rough. Pups just love exploring this run and get lots of exercise and it helps their mental development just being pups.
SIZE :- ( 20m x 15 metres )
Pup Whelping pen - where they stay from Birth until they are venturing out into the run at about 4 weeks old.
They then spend their days in the big outdoors pup run with their mum until weaning, and spend their nights in this pen.
NOTE:- Shade cloth covers most of this pen during the hotter months to keep it cool. In the winter months a tarp covers half of the pen for shelter. There is also insulation under the floor in the hut to provide new born pups warmth for good survival. Works very well.
