i ant had that problem pal cos we got a bit of land but my mate has, and his mum wont let him have anything other than his 2 jills and a 9 year old lurcher it works well for an older dog but he wonted a newer upgrade so when my little bitch (21in bedlinton whippet)was pupped up 1 of my kennals was inhabited with the pup. His mum said he can bring the pup home to his when his older lurcher gives up.
