Our Kennel Facility

Cabeza Grande Kennel is located on 5+ sprawling acres in the countryside. We are surrounded by hundreds and hundreds of acres of farmland with no neighbors to bother us. Our dogs have the run of many of the acres and also have a lake in which they enjoy swimming.

Kennels

We have 8x20 foot kennels with concrete floors. We find that a longer, skinnier kennel facilitates more room to run and a more active dog.

Dog Houses

Our dog houses are made from plywood, using double panels and thick insulation in between. The dog houses are also built into the side of the kennel building. They are lined with cedar boards to rid them of insects and other parasites. In the winter they are stuffed so full of straw, the dog has to burrow his way into it. This ensures the dog has little excess room to heat and can stay warm even in very cold temperatures. They are also equipped with swinging doggy doors and hard plastic heat mats.

Quarantine Kennels

We have 2 - 6x12 foot kennels separated from the others to keep new arrivals or dogs/pups who have contracted any illness that might be contagious.

Whelping Boxes

Our whelping mothers enjoy 4x8 foot whelping boxes lined with linoleum and sealed with silicone to insure ease of cleaning and sanitation. They are resealed and bleached between uses.

Exercise Runs

Our dogs are let out on 120 x 20 foot runs for daily exercise, weather permitting. These are made with heavy duty plastic coated cable and pulley systems and give them a lot of room to run. They are next to another dog so often they run and play with each other the entire day. This is how we maintain such good shape of our dogs without any 'professional' type conditioning. They are also run next to a bike, do weight pull and agility on a regular basis.

These exercise runs are also very handy for taking pictures. It contains the dog, they want to be with you so you stand back, make noises and snap away.
