The easement does give the right to access the adjoining parcel owned by my family. And, you obviously didn’t read the original post, as it specifically is asking about a Villages policy. Try to pay attention here..

So what kind of big dog do you have?

Now I carry a 3-iron when I visit them. If they attack again and manage to survive, I guarantee you they will be eating Gravy Train the rest of their lives.

Why didn't you sue them?? If they cannot control their dogs, they should not be allowed here.

OP if you have issues with large dogs, you are in the wrong retirement area. With the amount of service dogs here, some from vets, and some for medical issues, the dog is usually large to accommodate adult needs.

Each district has their own rules, but rarely does large dogs come into play.
You might want to look for a pet restricted retirement or condo.

Not here.......

I’ve know several Great Danes and all were very gentle. I’m sorry you found some who were not. It’s unusual

he specifically does mention it was "NOT" in the villages. If someone lacks attention or reading comprehension it isn't me.

As to an easement it only allows emergency services, utilities and such access to the easement. Not neighbors or other people not in those services. Perhaps you might start by reading the ordinances or making some phone calls as I did. As you are sadly mistaken by your own guesses.

No.

I've heard that dogs can sense evil people. I've never confirmed this rumor. Maybe someone evil can confirm this rumor for me? Thanks ������

Personally I would like to see the dress code enforced.

Two years ago I was attacked by 2 Great Danes, (not in The Villages) in front of their owner, who couldn’t control these monsters. One of them was on my back ripping at my shirt collar, while the other one was pulling my shirt. The one ripping my collar was taller than me, on his hind legs.
I was only able to escape because I managed to slowly make my way to the edge of the Invisible Fence that they had installed. I didn’t know it was there but I might not be here if it wasn’t, because I am on blood thinners, and although my arms were scratched I miraculously wasn’t severely bitten.
I of course reported the incident to the sheriff’s department and was referred to Animal Control. The owners were ticketed but the dogs are still there.
We just bought a house in TV after renting for several years, but I was under the impression that people could bring in a large dog they already had, but not get another large dog after moving in.

Has this policy changed? Because if it hasn’t then the 99% of us who don’t raise these “pets” shouldn’t be at risk for the inconsiderate people who do.

Sorry for what happened, but your poor comments and generalizations of pet owners “being inconsiderate” are not appropriate. If your that scared and dislike dogs an obviously pet owners, then why would you choose to live in a pet friendly residential development. There is others that don’t allow them. The majority of pet owners are not inconsiderate but enjoy the loving companionship of a loyal pet, that helps give them greater quality of life and purpose and it’s proven that many live longer because they have a pet. And before you rudely assume, (as you did in a previous response) no I don’t have a large dog, but have dogs and that’s a huge factor why I moved here. I did my research and looked for a pet friendly development, which The Villages is...

Still miss him, and hope he found a nice new home.

Sorry you were injured. I hope you learned a lesson - but, doesn’t sound like it - at all. It appears you have every intention of going into the yard again and are prepared to purposefully injure the dogs. And that would make you better than the owners of the dogs (and the innocent animals) — how?

I hope you can find peace..... maybe you should re-think your move to TV - maybe find a secluded place - you definitely do not sound like anyone I would ever want as a neighbor (and I don’t even have any dogs for you to whack).... I pray you find a way to deal with things - in a good (non-destructive) way.

Excellent response!
