I've had this for years, for a wolf-dog to 12 years old, and 2 Huskies to 14 years old. Both Huskies fit in it. It's built to last and I'm sure has several years left in it. It is very heavy, full wood construction with wood flooring and ceiling. one side has a couple shingles chipped, but the other side of roof is in great condition. A truck and at a minimum, 2 'strong' people needed to pickup.
