I'll be getting a german shepard one day along with another house. Dog's really are our best friend.

I think I'm over Urban and suburbs. 1-5 acres sounds pretty good 10-25 mins from town.

But can't ever sell this house - too much history. Maybe Bikie type fortification - or is that illegal now too..

I've seen many a dog-proof backyard but sometimes the dogs are too smart for their own good (holes, jumping, trees). Nothing worse than picking up the poor things off the road - takes months to get over it.
