I'm a the bigger the better guy but 5x10 is usually plenty. When I have used 5x10 I keep the dog houses outside the run. But my yard is fenced around the kennels so they get out to run every day.

I have four 10x10's and two 6x13's. I like the 10x10's better
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

I built mine 40 years ago. I'd do the same size if I had to build another one. The only two changes I would make is a wider drain and barrels with flat tops for boxes.
