Our yard is fenced with a 6 ft privacy fence and with four dogs that makes it so much easier. Buck is the only one with a recall reliable enough to bring him back if he saw something to chase. The girls would be gone if a dog, squirrel, etc. walked by.

I have to say though, I don't think it's fair for rescue groups to only adopt to people with fenced in yards. The humane society I work for is that way. When I went to a Petfinder seminar, they had a statistic that said that in general people who live in apartments spend more time with their dogs because they have to walk them a few times a day and take them to parks instead of just letting them out in the yard. That definetly changed my mind about it.
