We have a boxer about a year and a half old that stays in a large crate no more than six hours, 4-5 days a week depending on our schedules. We don't necessarily like having to do that. We fenced in our backyard so he's out first thing in the morning, out again when the first person gets home, walked regurlarly and in and out as he desires until around 11:00PM. He gets a lot of exercise and through his affection and obedience it doesn't appear he holds the crate thing against us.
