I agree kennel plays no factor. But you are correct on fish.

If you never took them out of their pen it could affect their growth... Calories are more important for growth though.. My dad breeds rots and when they are kept in above ground kennels and NEVER let out they become stunted... Genetics do play a factor but so does the environment.

If you let them run out of the kennel and exercise they are fine..

they do get out and play and run thanks for the replys keep them coming

feed puppy chow dogs will grow to there fullest
