I agree twiggy.
Having come across many dogs from such kennels I don't agree, the dogs come out with basic training but lack social skills and are often not bold and confident dogs having lacked early exposure.
In truth, I've come across FAR more dogs which have been domiciled and are unmanageable, often disturbed and occasionally dangerous and which came from a non-kenneled background. Clearly, our experiences are different.

Haven't read the whole thread. But one thing that sticks out is only 45 mins exercise.
Clodagh, you raise an interesting point, and regarding your Mum's collie. When I had two working collies living in the house (and in those halcyon days when I lived alone), there were times when for perhaps a week, they went nowhere and did nothing, or did they? They were in the house and out, in the car and out and they were my constant companions. I went to the pub and they'd sit and wait in the back of the pick-up, or when I was splitting wood for the fire they were with me, and when we actually went to do some work, nothing had changed. The pack is not always totally reliant upon exercise.
