I take a 55 gallon plastic barrel, cut a entrance in one end, and make a wood pedestal to hold it. It doesn't get that cold here and they stay pretty cool in the summer.
I do like the whelping boxes with the flip up top and the divider, but i think they are over $250.00. When I start raising puppies, I will most likely make or buy one.

HAHAHA, I have to tell ya I've been using 3 K-9Kondo's for probably 6 years or so and cant imagine using anything but. I have the Dog Den2's...they're the best in my opinion. I've never heard anyone be unhappy with them.

I prefer wood as well. My dogs do too. However, you probably can buy one for what you spend making one yourself. I do not like Igloo dog houses. I make mind 30" X 30" floor size and 24" height with a removable top. Exterior plywood! You can see what they look like in this picture and make your own. They will last many years if built correctly.

I like the 55 gallon drums myself with the wood frame built around them. Warm weather they seem to enjoy laying on top so I made a platform for them. Has to be pretty ool for them to go inside or raining sideways.

Wood Dog Houses

We use wood also, they are probably 36" x 42" deep and 24" high. We buy wood lumber at auctions and always have enough for projects, last ten or twelve sheets of plywood we paid 2$ a sheet and actually built 5 more dog houses using that and scrap 2x4's.

auctions are the best way to buy lumber we bought 12-2x4x16's and two half sheets of plywood for 20$ saturday....

Wood Houses are the best and last a long time and are cheap this way.
