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.

Chris, I like that math and that is why I prefer chains and ariel (sp) cable runs vs kennels for daily use...I am fortunate to have plenty of shade trees for my dogs all day. I do have a few kennels for pups and gyps in heat.

My kennel setup is a row of 4 x 8 kennels on concrete with a metal roof. There are ten kennels in the row and the top is about 8 feet tall. I let my dogs run every day in the half acre dog yard surounding the kennel ( 2 x 4 horse fence to keep them in). I hunt them or work cattle with the cowdogs every chance I get which is 2-4 times a week. I think they stay in pretty good shape doing this!

i prefer chains. i have a couple of kennels. i handle my dogs on the chain much more.kenneled dogs get a pat on the head at feeding time.i use a chain and flat roof dog houses so they can jump on top if they want.
