But sometimes the designs of cages and houses aren’t the most aesthetically pleasing—except for the options in this post.
Some of the dog houses can be used outside or inside or both. From balconies and patios to full-on ranch-style homes, there’s an option for every pup personality.
Best part? You can find all these dog houses on Amazon.
This color would fit perfect in any home with a modern or minimalistic design. While the wire door makes it into a cage, the solid top surface can be used as a table to display items on.

Pawsative Ruffview: “This product is excellent. Looks right on point as the pictures. It looks great in the corner of my living room, like actual furniture, I just love it. Highly recommended. It isn’t cheap but it’s a really good quality.”
If you want your dog to have a home that’s like an actual human home, we’ve found it. Not only does it feature a patio, but there’s also 2 separate rooms inside. You can use it inside, but it’s also fine outside with weatherproof construction such as a hinged roof and durable asphalt shingles. Since it’s elevated, it protects the dog house from ground moisture.

Pawsative Ruffview: “Super cute, well built! Has lasted outside with all this ridiculous amounts of rain we got this year and looks as if it’s still brand new”
Similar to the previous kennel we shared, the colors are subtle enough to fit in any home or yard. It’s made from kiln dried cedar and treated with a water-based paint, making it safe for dogs and cats. Of course, this house is only suitable for small breeds or cats. The wire latch makes the house a cage but can be removed for an open concept apartment and patio.

Pawsative Ruffview: “My sister has a little tiny dog, kinda obnoxious if you ask me, but not too bad anymore. She prefers to kennel it up when she’s not home and if we are eating. This thing makes that possible without the gaudy kennel, it’s pretty cute actually and the pup likes to climb on it and rest on top when it is out. The little rat dog also enjoys it so much he will sleep in it even if he isn’t locked in. Works well.”
It can be hard figuring out how to integrate a dog cage into your home design. Cages provide the shelter pups love, but they’re also not the most beautiful things you can own. Instead of trying to hide a cage, you can purchase a nightstand with a built-in cage. That way, your dog can be beside you every night too!

Pawsative Ruffview: “I grew tired of the wire crate I used for my miniature dachshund and I’ve been looking at these for awhile. She likes to be “covered” when in her crate and I used a blanket. This looks SO much better and provides her with the amount of security she needs. EASILY could hold a much larger dog – certainly 2 – maybe 3 – mini dachshunds. It goes great between my two recliners in the den. Assembly was a breeze and it goes well with my Pottery Barn end tables. It is definitely a piece of furniture.”
If you need a house for both of your pup pals, this one has two separate entrances. It’s just like a townhouse! If you just want to spoil one dog, simply don’t install the wood divider.

Pawsative Ruffview: “My babies are a little too pampered and don’t really spend much time outside but when they do, they can surely be found hanging out in their cute little duplex. It does have a piece of wood you can install to make it two separate rooms, but we noticed both dogs were just cramming into one side to be together anyway, so we took the wood panel out of the center of ours and now they have one large room with two doors. Everyone that visits, loves it as well and always asks where did we ever find such a thing!”
Coming in small and medium sizes, this house is made from high quality fir wood. It’s easy to put together and makes a great compliment to any yard or garden.

Pawsative Ruffview: “This dog house has a slat wood floor which allows drainage. We weatherproofed ours with some sealant before putting it to use, and it’s been raining all week without much weathering of the wood (no leaking from the roof or walls as well, nice job Tangkula). This house is also really quite a nice looking house (stained wood, matching asphalt shingles); it matches our deck nicely versus the plastic ones. It also has feet which raise it off the ground slightly, which I think was a nice design touch. We are very happy with this purchase and our dog seems to enjoy hanging out in it when she’s outside.”
Although this ones only suitable for small breeds, it combines both a dog house and a cage in one. To make it easy to insert a bed, you can simply lift up the proof. It’s elevated from the ground to prevent posture and the high-quality asphalt roof will last through the seasons. The company also offers different colors if pink isn’t your shade.
Price: $902
This dog house features a room for your dog to lay and a barn style porch so he can enjoy the views. The spring-protected cord of the heater is dog-safe and is thermostatically controlled.
Price: $670
This durable dog house comes insulated heating pad and raised floor to keep your pup dry. The heating system has an integrated thermostat so you don’t need to worry about adjusting it.
Price: $577
This house is so aesthetically pleasing that I could see someone getting it even if they didn’t have a dog. The natural wood floor can be pulled out from under the door so it’s easy to clean. The windows provide ventilation and the rooftop can be used as a mini-garden for a beautiful design.
Price: $507
This ranch style home is perfect for medium sized dogs with owners who love the country vibe. The slanted roof helps keep the water out while the raised bottom also helps keep water out.

As such, they can be small to medium-sized. This breed of fur friend is loving, intelligent and energetic. They’re a versatile dog good for families or singles living in houses or apartments.
Because Corkies are a cross, you can expect your pup to have a mixture of both cocker spaniels and Yorkshire terriers tendencies. However, one of those breeds may be more dominant. For example, your pup’s DNA may have more Yorkshire Terrier because of his parents. In this case, you can expect more characteristics from that particular breed.
In this post, we’re providing an overview of what the mixed breed may look like.

Got a new place!!! Mom’s taste is whatever but I have a bunch of new space!
Corkies are loving and happy dogs who can have a bit of a territorial side from their Yorkshire Terrier origins. If you know the breeder or adoptive dog parent, ask them if your corkie was bred with a King Charles Spaniel or an American Cocker Spaniel. Since both may be used, knowing which specific spaniel your dog is can give you a few hints about her personality or health. Their color depends on which genes they have, but they can be a combination of black, brown, tan, white, yellow or red.
In terms of exercise and grooming, they’re medium-maintenance. A walk or two a day should keep their energy at bay. They’ll also need to be taken to the groomers occasionally to trim their hair and nails.
Corkies can be generally healthy dogs, although some crossbreeds may have more issues than purebreds. Ask the person you get your dog from if they know about any health problems that run in the dog family. Since every dog is individual, the problems they’re prone to depend on their genetics. Although there’s no guarantees, Corkies can be more prone to eye and skin problems, knee and elbow joint issues, allergies, hypothyroidism and reverse sneezing.
Corkies tend to eat anywhere from 3/4 to 1 1/2 cups of dry food per day. If your dog doesn’t graze, this amount is best split amongst 2 or 3 meals each day.
Since corkies are a cross between two breeds, they’re not a purebred recognized by the American Kennel Club. However, they are recognized by the Designer Breed Registry, American Canine Hybrid Club and Dog Registry of America.
A corkie’s coat varies depending on which genes they inherit. They can be medium or long-haired with straight or a more silky texture. Compared to other breeds, they may shed less, but you should still be prepared for hair around the house.
To keep hair healthy and prevent it from matting, you should aim for a daily brush. If that’s not possible, a brush every few days is needed. Since some corkies can be longer-haired, you’ll also need to take her to the groomers occasionally. This keeps the hair under control and prevents it from growing towards the eyes and other facial areas, making it hard for them to see. It’s a good idea to plan for a grooming appointment before warm months in particular. An overgrowth of hair can keep the heat in instead of letting them cool off. Some corkies may be shorter-haired, meaning that trimming may be needed even less frequently.
You should also bathe your corkie about once a week.
As with any dog, a Corkie pup will need to be trained the basic commands and housebroken. Luckily, the job should be fairly easy because this breed loves to please others. Use positive reinforcement by giving treats and tons of praise when she’s understanding correctly. Since they’re generally intelligent, you shouldn’t run into too much trouble or stubbornness.
Corkies are obedient and affectionate. This makes them a great addition to a family with kids or other pets. They’re also a good option for singles or seniors. However, as with every dog, their temperament depends on how they’re trained and socialized as puppies. When your canine is young, make sure she meets plenty of other dogs. A pup who doesn’t learn to socialize can become too shy or have a tendency to snap at strange people or dogs.
Corkies are modestly active dogs that will enjoy a daily walk or run in the dog park. If you have an outside, enclosed space, that’s even better. Although they’re active, they’re small and won’t need as much time outdoors as a large breed. You can set a goal for 30 minutes worth of walks or active play time a day. Since she’s smart, when she’s not active, you can keep her stimulated with toys and puzzles.
To decidee if a corkie is thr right breed for you, take a look at their pros and cons.
Before you get a corkie, you should ask yourself the following questions.
Corkies are a designer dog breed. Unfortunately, many designer crossbreeds come from puppy mills. These are places where dogs are bred and housed in inhumane conditions, resulting in a variety of health and behavioral problems. Buying a corkie from one of these unreputable breeders means supporting abuse.
If you choose to buy from a breeder, follow these tips to ensure you’re selecting a respectable one. A great alternative is to adopt a dog instead. You can check sites like Petfinder.com to see if they’re any Corkies for adoption. Another idea is to contact your local shelters and ask if they can contact you the next time a Corkie is available.
