The way I *kind of* see it, is the same way I look at having an outdoor dog. If you have *some* dogs (not 50 or something!) that you do keep in a (sheltered) kenneled area, and they get daily attention, affection, exercise, they are well cared for, then I dont see a problem with it. Some people keep their dogs confined to one area of the house, and I see this as no different if you properly care for your kenneled dogs. BUT, I would only think its ok if they also had proper space to run and all of that. Not small cages or anything. Some dogs though, like yorkies and other *lap type* breeds, I dont think I would be so ok with it.
I think if someone has a separate kenneled area for dogs that they are breeding, they have some pretty high standards they should hold to.
