Hi Debbie,
As I type my house is full of boxes and the movers are coming tomorrow for my journey to TV with my big boys so I understand your concerns about moving to TV with a large dog. I have borzoi (Russian Wolfhounds) and they also need to adjust to heat and space issues. There are so many wonderful, amazing doggie people here on the forum that have dogs and deal with their dogs effectively in TV that I am sure it can be done happily if, as others have said, you have common sense and respect the property of others with a little more effort than was necessary if you lived in a rural area back in LI. Some of TVs dog parks are better than others but DDR is very wonderful and I am also looking forward to the new dog space TV is building. Good luck with your decision. TV is a wonderful place for both humans and dogs.
