Hi WCS,
We have a small white (half-Maltese) doggy too. We have a home than partially backs up to a villa wall.
There are many big birds of prey in the area - including hawks, eagles and osprey. I think osprey are the least to be concerned with as they generally eat small fish.
Most of the folks behind in the CYVs let their little doggies out alone loose. We choose not to, mainly because our lot gets wide at the back and opens onto a golf course. There is far more visibility in our yard than in a courtyard with the walls on 3 sides and the villa, itself, on the fourth. We are afraid that a predator could spot Finley from a distance.
Not sure if this helps, maybe you could reach out to UF to get more info?
