Deer have been completely demolishing our garden despite the fencing we have up (7′ deer netting and t posts). I’ve wanted a dog anyway for security and companionship, though this would be a 100% outdoor farm dog. I’ve been on several farms where dogs weren’t fenced in, and many of our neighbors havefree range dogs, though they come in at night. I am well aware of all the reasons not to do it. For those of you who have had success, what training, breeds, light fencing etc would you recommend? We have 60 acres on a dirt road, and Fort Knox fencing is out of our budget. We’re want the dog to mostly stay by the house, about a 2-3 acre clearing (with challenging topography for fencing).
