Well, we're on a dead-end road, and most all dogs are off-leash/no fencing. We have an electric fence that the girls are great with, but we haven't started training Sahara yet. My mom feels she's too young to comprehend the sound with her boundry. She we keep her on a 30' lead while she plays in the yard. We are giving it just a bit of time until the new kid gets used to everyone. He's a great boy, and that was his first day in town, so I'm sure everything will be great with them and they can all play together. As a matter of fact, we had a bit of a play party this morning!
