I'm appreciative of the curiosity and the insight.
I have a coonhound/terrier mix and an English setter. Both ARE accustomed to a fenced in yard that they can hang out in.
But, we three (I'm a singleton) are going to be in for changes and we'll adapt. They are both around 40 pounds. So, not ankle-biters, but not of an intimidating size.
I envision that elimination will occur on MY property to the absolute extent possible. I pride myself on being both a good "dog dad" AND a courteous and considerate neighbor.
Leash walks and dog park visits will be the "new normal".
And.....we have over two years before we arrive, there. They will both be seniors, and mellower, by then.
