First of all he cant own the land, is he married to a Thai dog?

Whats his budget?

What size is he looking for, any pups etc?

I think you'll need to find a joiners to build something for you, I very much doubt you'll find something ready built.

Hope someone can give you more help.

When you do have it built, don't forget to get a blue...er yellow book for it!

Here is some info.........http://www.woodzone.com/plans/doghouse/ ... _plans.htm

If you don't like this plan google dog house plans free

Wikapedia also has info on mistakes made when building a dog house.

Lucky dog.......in this heat it might be nice to give him/her a veranda, covered of course, to catch the breeze.

I built my own in about a day. . .the dog was due to have puppies and she needed it asap.

Why not build your own? It is just a box with a roof after all and I dont know why you would need plans . . .unless you are going to do the thing up with several rooms, bath, veranda, etc.

A simple one room doghouse just takes a few sheets of plywood, some 2x4's and a few nails.

The one I built has a peaked roof and matches our house. Our dog(Basset Hound) is not as big as a retriever though .

First of all he cant own the land, is he married to a Thai dog?

Baa. .I love it ! LOL

In pet shops they also sell those mesh cages, that stand a bit off the ground, for large dogs - may be a good idea so that you have somewhere to house the dog when you are out, so he can't escape. Could also act as a kennel as wooden boxes are good breeding grounds for mozzies and get hot and airless too.

It can rain like hell though! I've got one Thai dog that hates rain/water and one who loves it...
