    Once they have a separate space for their warm kennel and adequate space to toilet away from their bed, the floor space is not really that important. But the height is. You need to be absolutely sure that the dogs cannot jump or climb out and that thieves cannot climb in! Also make sure that the materials used cannot be chewed through or dug under. Dogs mostly sleep when left alone by their owners so once they are given adequate exercise outside of the run it should be fine.
