I'm building a doghouse for my 5 month old Lab pup. He's going to be a 90 to 100 lb dog. What I need from some of you guys with 90 to 100 lb Labs is the shoulder height, length and width of your Lab. I want to make sure I build it big enough.

My dog houses which are in a covered kennel ive all ways had a flat top with a heat lamp boxed in on top so when its cold i turn it on and have a heated bucket on the same circuit i have multiple dogs so my box size wont help you much
-
I don't need the box size, I have plans for a flat top insulated house. The dog walks in one side rounds a corner to his bed on the other side.
-
Remember its best to only make it large enough to stand up, turn around and lay down. Anything bigger is much hard for the dog to keep warm in.
-
Yep I know that too. I don't want to build it to small that's why I need the size of these 90 to 100 lb Labs.

I have a 90 pound Lab. I poured a slab and built a doghouse. I don't think that dog has ever seen the inside of it. He decided he would rather live in the house :dunno:
Sorry, I know that doesn't help..

break out the tape and help me out. My Lab will be in the house a lot too but during the day while at work or just not home he will be in his kennel.

This is just what I had in mind when I poured a slab and built a doghouse. Somehow, I just haven't used it much yet. Anyway, let me get you some measurements of the big guy..
-
Okay, I just measured him and he's about 24.5" x 26", lol.. That is, he sands 24.5" at the shoulder and he's 26" from chest to base of his tail. The door on my doghouse is 14" x 20" and he passes easily through that door. I actually built my doghouse way too big. The door dimension is perfect, but the house itself is too big.
