I grew up in the county and we had a fence around our garden.
Mainly because we had free range cattle in the area. Usually
and acre or so for most rural families/homes.
I’ve raised 14 hound dog puppies now and these two are MAJOR diggers. It’s insane! My front yard looks like it’s been bombed, LOL! And they are not bored and they have one another and LOTS of interaction & training time with me, and tons of toys to play with, and all the JUNK they can drag into the house yard from who-knows where.
I’ve already discussed ‘alternatives’ with Beau. He wants them to run around free, which they should, but with the new paint job on the house, soon-to-be-new front porch where they LOVE to hang out, something has to give.
And it ain’t gonna be ME! :)
We have 160 acres for them to roam - and no roads to worry about. Nothing else bothers my garden. No deer, no rabbits, no raccoon - nothing! Probably because the puppies are always over there, digging to China, LOL!
