A while back This Old House magazine had a issue that they have a contest of dog house builders and they built their dog houses to look like their own homes, some real nice work, I dream up the contest was for $5,000 prize. but the houses where really ably thought out. as for materials I would use plywood also to form the shape you want. if your just doing the standard shape just use run of the mill building materials. Good luck maybe you can post some pictures when you get done.

Answers: If your looking at making it with a particular shape within mind which means you need to bend and mold it later you could laminate several pieces of wood together into the shape you want.
Use thin sheets of plywood for this, you can get sheets from 1 1/2 mm gummy and flexible plywood.
You first need a form this will be the shape you want your project to look like, once you hold this you can start to build up the layers of plywood to this shape.
You will need to research gum lamination for this.
