World’s most expensive kennel: Great Dane owner shells out £250,000 for doghouse complete with spa and plasma TV
They must have taken out a mortgage at Barklays. How else could a pair of Great Danes get their paws on this £250,000 kennel? The bespoke doghouse is being built on an exclusive estate near Cirencester in Gloucestershire.
Inside, the dogs will sleep on sheepskin-lined, temperature-controlled beds, soothe their aches in an 18in-deep spa, howl along to a £150,000 sound system and watch dog-friendly programmes on a 52-inch plasma TV.
Automatic dispensers will ensure that chilled, filtered water and deluxe dry food are always available.
The two dogs will each have a bedroom with large windows which overlook their own private playground. ‘Dog-vision’ webcams allow their owner to monitor their activity 24 hours a day, while climate control ensures they are kept warm. There will be a sophisticated retina scanner installed at the front door to stop any other dogs getting in – something the Great Danes may view as a bit of a party pooper.
