Thanks Pat, Elyse and Kay!

Kay, part of it is the breed, as well. Bichons are companion dogs, tend to want to be with their humans. We do regularly see retrievers, boxers, labradoodles, and spaniels off leash. Folks have done training with their dogs, and always have treats with them. The beagles are NEVER off leash, you'd see them in a week or so, lol. This area has deer, fox, raccoons, etc. those beagles would be so busy tracking scent!
