Can anyone tell me what dimensions (in centimeters if possible  ) I will need in a Kennel for a full grown OES?
Thanks! |

Hi
do you mean a kennel or a crate, the crate we use to fly with our sheepie measures, L. 102 cm x B. 71 cm x H. 78 cm. They have sufficent room to strech out. |

I mean a kennel. I have found one that's 95(W) x 109(L) x 104(H)cm but I wanted to check that would be big enough |
You will find most OES wont use a Kennel preferring to be around the family
Paragraph from our OES Road Test magazine Article
"Today a covered patio to keep the dog protected from the weather is better than a kennel as few seem to use them, preferring to lay at the closest point to were the family is"
You will also find if you are out a crate or a room to put the oes in with a baby gate to close off the rest of the house will keep your OES more happy then left outside on their own. |

 Don't worry! I only need one for the odd occasion... We visit my parents farm a few times a year and they only let the dogs sleep outside in their kennels. SO to keep them happy and prevent Bally from muscling in on the dogs territory... |
