Thanks guys, if it will ever dry out around here I am sure it will drain excellent but the problem with a sand hill is seepage.  Every hole I dug had water in it before I could finish digging it and if you let it set for a few minutes it would be brim full with water.  I never did get down to the clay or iron ore layer even at three feet deep so I know there will be plenty of sand to soak up what I put on it after the kennel is built.  I decided to use 2"x8" to frame and deck with, I am going to save nearly $400 over 2x12's and I shouldn't have any cupping issues that could arise with a 12" wide board.  Going to pick up 160 2x8x14 Saturday so I will see how far I can get if it doesn't rain on me.
