Nice looking doggers.
Our first lab (19 years ago) when left in the backyard while we went to work or elsewhere was a basket case when we came home. We started kenneling him, then just gave him run of the house and no anxiety problems. I'm convinced that when left outside he wasn't sure if we were coming back.
A kennel for 8 hours isn't an issue since they really don't have a sense of time other than sunrise and sunset and they are den animals by nature. The key with kenneling is never punish them by kenneling, that's their safe house.
