Production Process:
Find an old cushion, take the filler cotton, the market sells this cotton, eight to ten dollars a pound, a pile of can do a lot ~
Prepare two pieces of cloth, the same or different can be, about half a meter wide, old clothes can also be ~, the size of the cloth can be prepared according to the need for size.
Took the biggest pot at home to first draw an inner circle but still a little small it doesn’t matter, and then find a piece of cardboard along the edge of the circle extends out a suitable distance to put out a certain size and locate a few more points connected to make out of the round.
After drawing the big circle, it’s time to cut remember to cut two pieces of cloth together if you are afraid of cutting damage, simply sew a little bit of positioning!
Cut the two pieces of cloth folded into sixteen parts to press the edges out of the mark for later sewing by the way cut out a cardboard with the same size as the inner circle
Then start sewing it, first sewing the inner circle steps are: first according to the inner circle of the line drawn about half of the sewing and then the cardboard stuffed with continue to sew sew to three-quarters of the sewing, stuffed with filler cotton specific sewing how much when stuffed with cotton by personal preference!
Outside the inner circle there are 16 lines to be sewn, after sewing will become 16 small pockets, if you feel the trouble, you do not need to sew 16 pockets, direct filling can be stuffed inside the filler cotton, it will naturally stand up and wait until the time of sewing, pull the line a little tighter and then adjust the next shape will be very beautiful, here with the hand-stitched, so a single line can be a little bit of a larger needle angle arch a line, and then return to arch a line so that It will become a red line like sewing machine sewing.
Kennels can be broadly categorized into two forms: one is a group kennel and the other is a single kennel.
Group kennels are to be kept by dividing the dogs into groups according to the size of the area. This kind of kennel is suitable for puppies, female dogs and spare dogs, the advantage is that the dog can carry out full activities in the nest, the management is also more convenient, the disadvantage is not easy to control disease, not easy to quantitative feeding, the dog group is prone to biting frame. Generally, group feeding with 7 to 8 dogs is appropriate.
Adult dogs should be housed in a single litter. This is a single kennel, which is generally more suitable for pregnant, birthing and lactating bitches, or male dogs kept for breeding. In order to economize on materials, several kennels can be built together. They can also be tethered, with each dog on a rope and a stake. Piles are best made of 10-gauge round steel or iron bars, with each pile 1.5 meters apart and 60 centimeters high.
The kennel should maintain air circulation and the right temperature. When the weather is suddenly hot, open the doors and windows to ventilate and cool the room. When the climate becomes cold or windy, doors and windows should be closed. In winter, it should be covered with straw mats to prevent cold and keep warm. It is best to plant trees around the kennel in order to play the role of greening, cooling and changing the environment. Inside and outside the kennel should be kept clean, remove feces and dirt at any time. When it is cold in winter, the snow and ice in the kennel should be removed in time to keep the ground dry.
The kennel should be equipped with certain equipment and utensils, and there should be a dog bed. The dog bed is made of wooden boards, which can keep the dog body clean, avoid moisture and reduce the occurrence of skin diseases. In winter, the bed should be covered with grass to keep warm. The dog’s sweat glands are very undeveloped, the body of excess heat is not easy to discharge, so the kennel site should have a bath. Bath can be divided into two kinds: one is a sand bath, sand, splash water, in order not to stick to the body as appropriate, so that the dog rolled in the sand to remove dirt on the fur, but also can be cooled down; another is a water bath, so that the dog in the pool swimming, cooling, washing dirt. The kennel should also set up the appropriate number of eating utensils, such as food troughs and water bowls.
