HI,
firstly of welcome to petfinder!!!

A cheap kennel u request? May i know how much is ur budget? If u want to buy a kennel it of course will cost a bit unless u can find a second hand. or U can buy a large cage cos bout Rm150-300 (depends on ur dog sizeslah) and use it as a kennel. U just need to add a roof for them very easy and modified it a bit.

Another option for u, depends on individually, look around ur house. Do have some unuse or extra materials that can be use and suitable to build a kennel for ur doggy? Hope this little bit suggestion can help.

Thanks for the info guys.... Dog breed is Spitz crossbreed.... To be honest, I dont know what hes crossed with but the body looks like a Spitz only larger (even at 5-8 months) and hes got brown patches like a terrier, ears are droopy.... I just posted some pics of him.... You guys can go take a look?... I'm actually trying to come up with a cheap and effective solution for him.... Hes been with us 3 days now and thankfully it hasnt rained yet... Any other suggestions?

Our country isnt exactly in the best of times right now.... Thanks to you know who.... hahahah.... But seriously.... I cant say cause I dont know the price of kennels... But if I were to shoot in the dark.... I'd say RM20?.... hahahaha......

Hahahha.... Like I say.... I dont know the price... So if any members here would be kind enough to let me know roughly how many arms and how many legs is it gonna cost me?....

vivi · #9 12-19-2008, 05:45 PM

Cowboy,
don worry
a cage or a kennel won't cost u more than an arm i guess

.
If u really don want to cost u too much, u can buy some cheap material and build it urself.
Beli papan won't be too mahal mah. and build it urself. Even Kak iman a forum member can build it by her own.
Or maybe u can visit any petshop and compare the prices.
