We are in our mid 70's and concerned with having to always walk the dogs as we get older.
Thoughts?

As long as you remain outside with the dogs while they're running free on your own property, and can bend down to pick up their crap so they don't stink up and destroy your yard, a courtyard villa might be fine for you.
You will never be leaving your dogs unattended outside, unless your entire back yard is covered with a "birdcage" (a netted frame that stretches high over your yard to keep insects and predators out). Even then, you probably wouldn't want to leave them unattended, since bobcats and bears don't really respect nets when they see something tasty on the other side of the net.
