My husband and I are already looking to start Dale's (my sons Cherryhead) enclosure outside so it will be ready around May or so for him to go in to it. We live in California so it should be warm enough then. Anyway, I would like some feedback on what we're thinking about. I've seen some of the enclosures here, but we were actually looking at a dog run that's 7'x13' because we have a Labrador and we defintely want to protect Dale from her at all times and we feel it would give Dale the room he needs to roam about. I know that we would have to put either some sort of slats through the wire or some kind of barrier so Dale doesn't continue to try to get out. And I've also thought that he needs some sun so you couldn't put the slats all the way up or it would block out the sun. Anyway if anyone has any opinions on this can you please let us know so we can take it in account when we start to set up his new home.
