 Great book for a starting point June 13, 2008
I purchased this book so I could help a friend in starting his own kennel. The book was very helpful and informative. After reading it you have a much better prospective on everything from designing the building all the way to day to day operations. I would definitely recommend it to anyone starting their own kennel.

This book was a delight to read, was easy to follow, and added humor to a topic that can be harrowing to all but the stought-hearted. I would have wished for more detailed pictures, but one can't have everything. This book is highly recommended for anyone who wishes to build habitats for all kind of animals. The processes in this book follow sound, ethical, and humane animal husbandry practices.
Must have for anyone with multiple dogs or kennel June 16, 2006

This book discusses everything from sanitation to grooming to feeding to kennel construction. There are sample kennel construction ideas and sample ideas for boarding contracts etc. Wether you have multiple show dogs in your kennel or just board dogs for others or hobby, this is an essential guide. Mcmanis has several tips on policy and planning to keep your dogs and customers happy and returning. There were also many frequently asked questions that I had grappled with for years but after reading this book I was able to solve them.
