BREEDS OF DOG – CHOOSING WREN LAMP ELEMENTS
The following table shows suggested element ratings for various breeds.
These assume that the sleeping quarters at least are well insulated and free
from floor draughts. The ratings apply for one dog, a bitch with puppies, or a
litter of young pups. The recommendations take into account the height, size
and hardiness of the various breeds, alternative powers being suggested in
border-line cases.
The choice of heater units will depend upon the construction of the kennels
and the conditions the dogs are accustomed to, but the final judgement must
rest with the breeder or kennel operator. In the case of whelping bitches the
unit must provide sufficient heat at floor level to keep the puppies’ warm
while at the same time being suspended high enough to be well clear of the
bitch. For this reason, the recommended heat ratings for certain very tall
breeds are higher than might be expected for such hardy animals and can
certainly be reduced where only fit, adult dogs have to be considered.
