[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 537959, member: 1514"] I would love to install a normal fence but I think that is out of my price range right now. This one is only about 150 and it would cover about 330'. Thats enough to block in a good portion of my front yard to her pen, a good area to play in and then up to the front steps so then can get in and out without zapping them. I just would make it so they wouldnt be able to go near the guy next door. I can also buy more wire to make the area bigger. As big as these dogs will be, they can jump a fence easily and slipping under anything other but a chain length fence is not gonna work. I might could use hog wire but would probably have to electrify that in the beginning too because they would try it. The squares are so big. Nina was odd in the fact that she never attempted to jump her low pen until she had puppies and then she jumped it with ease. I have a feeling these will be climbers from a very early age. Ziva is already climbing the furniture. She has figured out if she can get a toe hold, she can pull herself up. I am hoping the electric fence works on them. Fran had one and it didnt work on her dogs but I think that may have been because they had so much fur. We had a real above ground electric fence years ago for a beagle and he outsmarted the stupid thing because we had to put it at his level and he just took a flying leap over it.
