I have my dogs in 12 x 12 kennels.  If I had some big shade trees, my dogs would be on 10-20' chains.

If they are on a 20' chain, the dog has 1256 sq ft

10' chain = 314 sq ft

12x12 kennel = 144 sq ft

The 20' chains give the dogs plenty of room to exercise, and the waste in not in such a confined area, as in a kennel.

I guess one can argue benefits on both side though. The kennels are good for keeping bitches in heat from being bred and no digging with a concrete or wood floor.
