If I were you, I'd walk with my hubby and have him take at least one of the three dogs. Or better yet, especially since they are very large dogs, take them all to the the private dog park, Doggie Doo Run Run, on CR 101. It is very inexpensive and they can run off leash to their heart's content. (We pay $30 per month for two dogs and the staff there picks up the poop)!

Yesterday my chihuahua/terrier mix, Sport, met a large greyhound at Doggie Doo Run Run. Grover is his name.
You see many size dogs mixing in the Villages at Doggie Doo Run Run as well as near the postal stations and on the streets.
Seconding barefoot's recommendation of Doggie Doo Run Run. It also has a 3 dog maximum per person. I guess that they figure one person can only mind three dogs at the most. I have seen what look like couple's though come in with more than 3 dogs at the dog park.
Rarely if ever though have I seen a dog walker with more than two dogs around the Villages' squares, postal centers, or streets.
I have also found that the bigger GUYS when leashed seem to be a lot friendlier to my dog than many of the smaller ones. Those yorkies, bichons and other toy dogs can get rather nasty.
Along the same theme, Doggie Doo Run Run has a welcoming committee of small dogs which bark incessantly at the larger dogs coming into their respective section of the dog park. It is as if the little dogs think all the big dogs are Fumars'.
The smaller dogs are only brave when there is a fence between them and the larger pooches at Doggie Doo Run Run.
Small dogs are allowed into the bigger dog areas at the dog park though. They have a back field of about 5 acres in which my dog and I enjoy walking around.
You are entertained though by the animals at Doggie Doo Run Run. Dogs chasing squirrels. Digging for moles/voles/gophers. Chasing balls. Rolling around in play fights.
