my family’s at home dog has a kennel (with an open top bc he’s just a tiny little thing) with a sq footage of id guess at least 10 feet, but we try to let him out as much as possible. we also have a few farm dogs that roam freely (but still have kennels for their protection). in other words, i fully agree/understand your point.
Unfortunately, where I’m at a lot of them are hunting dogs so they don’t get to leave their cage unless they’re going hunting and then when they get attacked by boars they just shoot them. The rest of them seem like sweet little dogs and I have no clue why they’re stuck in a cage when they can easily be house dogs
