One thing I do wonder about is, how hard is the concrete on the dog’s joints? I know there is a big difference between walking on concrete all day versus walking on the ground.

It's definitely hard on their joints no doubt about it. I used to have all my kennels on concrete and you could see the difference especially with the older dogs. My buddy raised a litter on concrete and I did notice a small difference with their pasterns.
