Bird Dog Blind

Big Dog
The “Big Dog” award is presented to the team that presents the best design for large dogs.

The bird dog house caters to large dogs that enjoy watching birds.  The materials are simple, restrained and durable.  The perforated metal skin allows cross ventilation.  A long horizontal window allows the dog to enjoy bird watching while in a prone position.  The winged roof shape is inspired by birds flying up from the surrounding prairie.  A custom engraved wall pattern reflects a dog’s joy of prancing through the prairie causing birds to fly away in mass.  Doors at both ends allow for a quick exist to begin the chase.
