Maybe the way to approach this is if the dogs are outside six hours a day do they have shade and water. It might be inhumane treatment of the dogs. Are they tied up?

I called the VCDD yesterday concerning Deed restrictions and dogs as we were looking at possibly purchasing a home where the restrictions stated 1 dog or cat 20lbs. Our dog is 100 lbs, 9 yrs of age, big ole Lab. The VCDD stated if they received a complaint that they would send you letter stating that when you replace your dog after he passes that you must be in compliance with the deed restrictions. We decided not to bid on the home because we are unsure if in the future our dog passes if we will want a small dog. Someone has to take care of the Big dogs! I have looked at several Deed restrictions in the Spanish springs area and most state 40lbs but some do say 20Lb and then there are a few areas that have no weight limit just a limit on amount. Most say 1 dog and do not mention cats however there are a few that mention cats as well. Please read your restrictions and try to stay compliant. Our area is now limited as to where we will purchase, as for right now we will just stay with my mother as we are not fully retired and only are able to come for a week or two.....but we are getting close. I personally have a soft heart when it comes to dogs so it would take a lot for me to complain. I would be more worried that if a dog is barking non stop it is being neglected. Our dog has a big bark but only barks when he either wants food, or someone is approaching our residence, or if I let him out at night then he barks at the critters. I would probably approach the neighbors and ask them if everything is alright with their dog because it is barking a lot and see if I saw any neglect, if it looks thin, if its in a cage all day etc. Seems very odd that a dog is barking non stop all day long.

in what I am reading. I don't need that situation that you describe if in when I will ever buy here. Thank you for your reporting of this problem. That is why it is very important to check out your neighbors before you buy here.

Let's have some examples of how you check out your neighbors before buying. Also neighbors come and go, there are 8 homes on our street and to date 15 different owners, all in less than 4 years.

You point out correctly it is A problem. Not happening everywhere.

Unfortunate you won’t be joining us in TV.

No, I never crossed on private property when I was kid. You don’t know what’s behind closed doors?
