    Bri, I dont want to sound like a know it all but I did a ton of research on pit bulls. I read those fences dont work very well for them because they have such a high pain tolerance that they just ignore the shock and run right through it. Of course it may not be that way with Roxy but I wouldn't want to chance it IMHO anyway...

    Thank you Kay for the beautiful sig!

    I know many dogs that ignore both the beep and the shock, no matter how strong it is. And these dogs don't have as tough a neck as Roxy does -- I'm talking like an 8 year old Brittany just ignoring the shock and running miles away from home.

    Personally, I prefer the chain, it's simply safer.

    The suggestion about welded wire is a good, probably one of the cheapest ways to fence. The dogpark uses split wood beams & chicken wire. We've thought about doing that to enclose a really big area, maybe 1/2 acre...someday.

    We fenced off a large area by putting sections of fencing between our out-buildings. We used pre-built fencing sections that are nice because we can move them really easily....so of course, they are pretty expensive, too.
