We always had fenced in backyards for our two 20lb dogs before moving to TV and when we first started looking I was sure we would buy a CYV. In the end, however, we wanted a bit larger home and DH wanted a larger garage. Our designer has a very small yard. It took awhile for us to get used to taking the dogs on walks rather than just opening the door and letting them out. Now it is no big deal. We all enjoy their morning and afternoon walks (especially the dogs since one of our neighbors has treats for them when we pass by). The walks have been good for all. If I had mobility issues, I'd probably get a cyv but for us the designer home, garage and lot location were more important to us than the enclosed backyard.
