Does anybody have any recommendations for a good outdoor dog house for my (full grown) Doberman? I’ve been looking everywhere and I’m not confident enough to build my own.

Not to mention their coats aren’t well suited to being out some times of the year. I see snow in the avatarI'm afraid you're not getting any responses because no one here keeps their Doberman outdoors. Dobermans are a very velcro breed who want to be with their family. They don't do well left outside on their own. Even Rescuers try to get them into a foster care as quickly as possible. They start to fail quickly if left in a shelter. Is it your intention to keep her out there 24/7? Even if she's out there 'just' during the day, I can't recommend it. She'll be very unhappy and may develop bad habits. I would also be worried about her ingesting something that she shouldn't. Being out there by herself with no one to watch her or entertain her, is just looking for trouble.
Can you tell us Doberman owners are crazier than our dobes?Wow I should’ve been clear that I didn’t mean she would be LIVING outside.
Yeah that rehoming comment really made me sad. I can’t believe everyone just assumed I’m an unfit owner because I want to buy a dog house. I really wish to delete the whole post.Can you tell us Doberman owners are crazier than our dobes?
Oh, well, in that case, you won't have to worry about a dog house! When she is outdoors with you she'll be sitting on your lap! Or sitting on your foot! Like I said, Dobermans are velcro LOL.Wow I should’ve been clear that I didn’t mean she would be LIVING outside. She lives indoors with the family so no need to worry guys! I just want a dog house for her to lay in when she is out back with me.
Don’t let it upset you, it’s hard to not take offense but sometimes when something is said in a post it is difficult to actually read the tone of it. We are glad you are here and asking honest questions. Please don’t let the comment prevent you from sharing your dobe with us. We really do care and are here to help with what we can. I think if you googled a DIY doghouse you will find some sites that offer the dog house plans.Yeah that rehoming comment really made me sad.

Bogie would gladly use it to hike his leg on. Any new planter I get, he has to put his mark of approval on it.but I cannot really see a Doberman using it.
Better than pooping on it lol.Bogie would gladly use it to hike his leg on. Any new planter I get, he has to put his mark of approval on it.
That might happen too since Bogie likes to poop on elevated things.Better than pooping on it lol.
