Looks a great enclosure. I also like the change in terrain, I wonder if they will let them dig their own dens?

As long as its not near the fence??

These Dogs do benefit from plenty of space and this looks a good enclosure with the extra benefit of the wooded and open areas. It looks large enough to contain a proper pack if there is breeding. They always look better/behave more naturally if there is a decent-sized social group rather than just a few.

I think they have dug out a den.

There are 3 females & a male.

They intend to improve the viewing because when the grass grows in summer they can disappear completely.

I think they have dug out a den themselves, far from the fence!
