I thought I would ask here since the sheltie forum I asked this question on originally, basically acted like I was the cruelest person in the world for even suggesting this. 
I am considering building an outdoor kennel for the dogs for when we take the kids on day trips that way the dogs wont be locked up in the house all day long while we say go to the lake or zoo. We don't have A/C in the house so I thought it would be better if they could be outside where they could at least get a breeze and go to the bathroom when they wanted. My oldest son could possibly check on them once or twice, but since he has a full time job and goes to collage he might not always be available to come over.
What would you think is better... a 6' chain link fence or a 6' privacy fence? Either one would have a lock, so no one but myself and my oldest son, would have a key to get in. I would also make sure they have plenty of water and shade.
